Edmonton weather for Aug. 27: Warm end to August
We're into the last few days of another warmer-than-average month.*
AND...it looks like both days this weekend will follow the trend and be above average.
It's a slightly different story today.
Mostly cloudy skies with a risk of a few scattered showers in the Edmonton region this morning.
Then...some sunny breaks this afternoon. We can't rule out the chance of a shower this afternoon, but the risk looks pretty low.
However, there WILL be some shower and thunderstorm development in many other areas around the province today.
East-central and northeastern Alberta has a very good shot at seeing some afternoon action.
We'll also get some scattered showers/thunderstorms in the Peace Country and down through the foothills.
Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be a lot less active. Most of central and northern Alberta will get "partly cloudy" skies.
There's just a slight risk of some scattered showers in the northwest both days.
For the Edmonton region, temperatures should hit the mid-20s with a good amount of sun Saturday and some increasing cloud Sunday.
*August hasn't been as hot as June or July this year. But, it'll end up being about a degree warmer than the long-term average.
We had average highs of 25 C in June, 26 C in July and August's average high will be about 24 C.
