Edmonton hasn’t had a 20-degree day since May 14 and hasn’t had back-to-back days in the 20s since May 9/10.
But, we should break into the 20s today and Tuesday in the city. Then…we’ll probably slip back to afternoon highs in the upper teens for Wednesday-Friday.
We have some short-lived upper ridging that’ll keep skies relatively sunny and help boost temperatures.
Showers and thunderstorms are likely in northern and east-central Alberta later today on the edge of that upper ridge.
Then…as the ridge collapses a bit Tuesday, we get a chance of some evening showers or thunderstorms in the Edmonton area.
Wednesday may also feature a few occasional and scattered showers through the day (but no heavy, steady rain).
Temperatures slip to the 17/18 C range for highs Wednesday-Friday before rebounding to the low 20s for the weekend.
AND…we’ll likely stay in the low 20s for highs through most (if not all) of next week.
After a cooler-than-average month of May, early indications point toward an average or slightly warmer-than-average first week of June.
