Edmonton weather for Aug. 27: Warm end to August

wxblog Aug. 27 2021
EDMONTON -

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.
