Morning clouds helped produce a beautiful sunrise over Edmonton today.
Those clouds will stick around this morning & then break up a bit later today.
An upper-level cold front is slowly making it's way across the province.
That means: drier & cooler air.
After sitting in the mid-20s Saturday & Sunday, we'll slip to the low 20s today/Tue/Wed in the Capital Region.
That drier air also makes evening thunderstorms a bit less likely.
However, after 2 consecutive nights with thunderstorms, there IS a risk of a 3rd stormy evening tonight.
After today...Edmonton should be storm-free for a couple days.
Mainly sunny to Partly cloudy skies will prevail for the rest of the week with temperatures returning to the mid 20s by Thu/Fri.
Elsewhere around the province:
