Another breezy day for the Capital Region & other parts of Central Alberta.
Wind continued to gust to 40km/h overnight & should be 20 gusting to 40 for most of today.
Temperatures stay above average.
Highs should be in the mid to high teens across the Capital Region & surrounding areas.
Saturday looks like it'll come in with a daytime high of 17 or 18 as well.
So...that'll give us an average high of at LEAST 15.0 (probably a couple tenths of a degree warmer)
We'll have the official number for you on Monday.
But...it looks like this'll be the warmest April in Edmonton since hitting 14.6 in 2006.
And...it'll be the 3rd-hottest April in Edmonton in the past 50 years.
The only years with a hotter April are 1980 (16.7) and 1977 (16.0)
The 30-year average high for April is 11.2 degrees.
So...
This is now the 7th consecutive warmer-than-average month.
Edmonton had an "average" month in September. The last cooler-than-average month was February 2015.
May looks like it'll start off even hotter.
Daytime highs should be in the 20s for most (probably all) of the first 7 or 8 days of May.
