Summer is here! Edmonton gets just over 17 hours of sunlight today. AND...we'll actually get see some sun as the clouds finally break.

Partly cloudy, temperatures in the 15-20 degree range this afternoon and then shower or thunderstorm risk. That'll be a widespread risk across Central and NE Alberta this afternoon and evening.

The storm risk zone extends from Red Deer and Edmonton NE to Fort McMurray.

Some of the storms that develop could produce sizeable hail and localized downpours. So...don't be surprised if there are severe thunderstorm WATCHes and WARNINGs issued later today.

 

Weekend Outlook:

Shaping up to be a warm and (mostly) dry weekend in the Edmonton Metro Region. Afternoon Highs in the low 20s Sat/Sun with Partly Cloudy skies.

We'll probably have some thunderstorms in eastern Alberta Saturday. AND...we can't rule out the chance of a shower or thunderstorm developing over or near Edmonton Saturday PM/EVE.

BUT...it's a slight risk and MOST of the daytime and evening hours Sat/Sun should be dry.
