EDMONTON -- The hot spell is over. Edmonton had highs above 26 degrees on nine of the past 11 days.
Starting today, there are no days with a forecast high above 26 in the next week.
Most of the next seven to 10 days will have highs within a degree or two of 20.
That starts today.
Showers (and even a few thundershowers) will continue to move through central and north-central Alberta this morning.
That precipitation moves a bit further east as the day goes on and we should get some late-day sunny breaks in the Edmonton area.
Wind will be in the 30 km/h range with some gusts on top of that.
Further east, gusts could be in the 70-80 km/h range in east-central AB this afternoon.
Some scattered showers and thunderstorms push across central and northern AB Saturday.
So... partly cloudy for most of the day with a risk of some hit & miss precipitation.
Sunday is shaping up sunnier.
