This could end up being one of the top 5 hottest days of 2019. BUT...it may not FEEL as nice as yesterday because of some gusty wind and the early arrival of clouds.

Edmonton has only hit 28 degrees (or hotter) on 5 days this year. Today's high will end up in that 28 degree range.

We'll be under a mix of sun & cloud all day AND the wind will gust to around 40 km/h most of the day.

Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible in west and NW Alberta this afternoon.

The cold front sweeps across the Edmonton region tonight. There's a slight risk of a shower or thunderstorm this evening (8-11pm), BUT...the most likely time for showers in the area will be after midnight.
