Sunshine & blue skies to start the day in the Capital Region.
But, we may be back to showers & thunderstorms before the day is through.
A surface trough of low pressure will in western Alberta & some daytime heating will combine to generate some clouds & precipitation this afternoon.
Areas from Grande Prairie/Peace River south through to Rocky Mountain House have a chance of afternoon & evening showers and/or thunderstorms.
Further east, it's more of an evening risk of showers/thunderstorms.
The best chance for the Capital Region to get some of that action will be between 5 & 10pm.
A developing Upper Low in BC will sweep SE Thu/Fri to destabilize things Thu/Fri.
So, we're back into a cooler, cloudier & wetter pattern to close the week.
