After picking up roughly 15 to 30 mm of precipitation in the Edmonton area over the past two days, drier conditions are on the way for the next few days.

More rain returns to the Edmonton region early next week starting either Monday or Tuesday.

But, we're not expecting any showers today, Friday or through the weekend.

Sun's breaking through the clouds today and temperatures should climb to around 13 C this afternoon.

Expect the wind to pick up midday and we'll have gusts in the 40 km/h range this afternoon and early this evening.

Calmer and sunnier conditions for Friday with a morning near 0 C and afternoon temperatures in the 14 C range.

Saturday looks relatively calm as well, then back some breeziness for Sunday.

Afternoon highs in the mid to upper teens this weekend in the city.
