Josh Classen's forecast: Warm, cloudy and maybe even a shower

Warmer-than-average temperatures continue to be the main weather story this week.

BUT...we do have an interesting side-story developing for this evening and overnight.

A low pressure system will develop in southeastern Alberta late today. That's likely to produce some showers in east-central Alberta and possibly some freezing rain, particularly in the Coronation-Provost region overnight.

We'll also see some snow develop in through the foothills and mountain parks tonight (a couple centimetres is possible in some areas).

The Red Deer-Rocky Mountain House area will probably get some flurries or light snow overnight, but not much accumulation is expected.

Edmonton and area has a slight risk of seeing a scattered shower in the area late this afternoon and/or early this evening. But, most of the region should miss out on that.

 

After a cloudy day today, we should be back to some sunshine Wednesday.

A bit of sun Thursday/Friday, as well.

 

Thursday's shaping up to be the warmest day of the week. We'll have highs near 5 C today, Wednesday and Friday.

It looks like we'll get into the 6 C to 10 C range on Thursday.

 

LONG Range Outlook:

We're still anticipating some snow on Sunday (with the potential for significant accumulation). We're also anticipating some MUCH colder air to drop in for next week.

Daytime highs in the -10 C to -14 C range starting Tuesday and mornings near -20 C.

The cooldown will likely begin on the weekend, but it won't REALLY get cold until Monday or Tuesday.

 

Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:

 

Today - Mostly cloudy. Slight risk of a scattered shower late in the day.

High: 5

 

Tonight - Mostly cloudy. Slight risk of a scattered shower in the area early this evening.

9pm: 1

Some birds may use 'mental time travel,' study finds

Real quick — what did you have for lunch yesterday? Were you with anyone? Where were you? Can you picture the scene? The ability to remember things that happened to you in the past, especially to go back and recall little incidental details, is a hallmark of what psychologists call episodic memory — and new research indicates that it’s an ability humans may share with birds called Eurasian jays.
