Sunny & hot again for most of today.
And...again....there's a risk of an isolated thunderstorm hitting parts of Edmonton or near Edmonton.

Yesterday's storm hit parts of east & southwest hard particularly hard while others parts of the region missed out.
Today's highest risk areas for afternoon & early-evening storms will be in the foothills and east-central Alberta.

Thursday & Friday's forecast looks pretty similar.  Sun for much of the day & then some afternoon clouds.
Temperatures will climb into the mid to high 20s both days.  And...both days have a risk of late-day storm development.

As we head into the long weekend, the picture is still "blurry".
I mentioned yesterday that we probably wouldn't have a good handle on it until Thursday...and I'll stick with that.
(in fact...it may take until Friday to REALLY  feel confident about the timing/location of rain)

The Upper Low is looking like it'll hold off until Saturday before dropping in.  But, it's still going to be the dominant feature all weekend long.
So...here's what I'm confident we'll get in Edmonton & much of central & north-central Alberta:
- Daytime highs will be in the low to mid 20s Saturday & then near 20 Sunday and Monday.
- We'll be more cloudy than sunny all three days.  
- Where & when will the rain fall?  TBD
- Will it be steady rain ALL weekend?  No.
- Will we see some sun?  Yes....but no extended periods of blue skies.

On another note:
Today will be the 40th consecutive day with the temperature hitting at least 20 degrees.
That's only been done three other times in the past 25 years.
We had 48 consecutive 20-degree days in 1991.
2002 had 41 & 2006 had 40.
If we can get through this weekend with a high of 20 or better on Sunday & Monday...then we should beat 48.
But...it's looking like the streak MIGHT end this weekend.
