EDMONTON -- A few showers are making their way through parts of the Edmonton metro region this morning.
For most areas, it'll just be a cloudy day with a chance of a scattered shower or thunderstorm this afternoon.
An upper trough (cool air aloft) dominates the atmosphere over Alberta today and tomorrow.
By Wednesday, a full-blown upper LOW develops over the province and then stalls out.
What all that means is that we're not anticipating a lot of sun or heat this week.
Instead, we'll be dominated by clouds, daytime highs in the 15-20 degree range and some precipitation.
Now, that's not to say we won't get ANY sun.
Just like this past weekend... there will be sunny breaks and it won't rain non-stop today and Tuesday.
Wednesday could be a different story as much of central and north-central Alberta could be in for a slow, steady soaker.
The pattern looks like it'll break down by the end of the week.
