It's not a perfect setup, but this COULD finally be a day that Edmonton gets a thunderstorm.
The CAPE doesn't look all that impressive, there's not much shear and...the GEM-LAM model keeps the precip W & S of Edmonton.
That model has been remarkably accurate with this type of rain/thunderstorm risk all summer.
So, this definitely isn't a GUARANTEED storm day for the city.

But there WILL be storms later this afternoon/this evening...AND if they're not OVER the city, they'll be near it.
We have a cold front set to crash across the province.  Dewpoints will be in the mid-teens in many areas (providing ample moisture).
The upper ridge will collapse a little bit and there WILL be some shear in W & S parts of the province later today.
So, the storm setup is favorable for parts of Alberta.
Severe thunderstorms are possible in the foothills later today and we'll watch to see how they develop as they slide east towards the Red Deer region this afternoon/evening.

The highest risk zones for storms today are:
- NE Alberta this afternoon
(mainly from Lac La Biche/Bonnyville to Fort McMurray)

- NW & W-Ctl Alberta this afternoon
(mainly south of Grande Prairie, from Grande Cache/Whitecourt through Edson & towards the Rocky Mtn House/Olds regions)

- Red Deer to Coronation this evening
(storms coming off the foothills will track east & should exit into Saskatchewan overnight)


TEMPERATURES:
Grande Prairie & High Level get another day in the mid to upper 20s.  
Not AS hot as the past few days, but still above average.  Slightly cooler air should move in for tomorrow & the rest of the week.
Fort McMurray's heat streak continues with another day near 30 today.  Temperatures in that area should drop back to the mid-20s tomorrow.
Edmonton & area gets into the upper 20s today & then we'll slip into the low to mid 20s for the rest of the week.
