A few showers made their way through parts (but, not all) of the Edmonton Metro Region early this morning.
Skies remain cloudy through the day with showers in the area for most of today.
That's not to say that we're in for a city-wide steady soaker.
Instead, it'll likely be occasional showers and possibly even a thunderstorm this afternoon.
Areas to the SE have the potential for thunderstorms to produce damaging wind gusts and sizeable hail this evening.
The PASPC (Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Ctr) is forecasting a "Moderate" risk of severe storms from the Wainwright-Provost area NE through Lloydminster.
That same region also has a Moderate risk for similar storms Saturday.
