Incredible warmth today wow! 21 degrees as of 1:00 PM here in Edmonton, should be around 23 right now at around 2:00. I really hope I see a thunderstorm, I’m very anxious for our first storm! We had a thunderstorm around the 24th of April last year, and this year I hope tonight is our time!

Did you notice the temps down in the banana belt today?? 26 fir the Bridge City and 28 for the Hat……anything over 25 is too hot for me, 20-22 is just right for me.
I too see a moderation this week then a crash on the weekend. Maybe everyoe will get in on this one. Lets hope so, I’m in the mood for a nice rainfall…of course started off withsome active weather. Have a good Sunday….Anthony

The ground heated up pretty good yesterday, didn’t get below 10C here last night, and already 15C so snow is going to have trouble sticking unless we get a big dump of it. Which wouldn’t really surprise me this week
Just looking at the IR loop and seeing some nice jet streaks blasting along ahead of the front. Stiff south-southeast wind right now, there should be some good shear when the front comes through.

I don’t want any snow anymore!! Pat, just wait until next weekend..GFS shows a pretty decent amount over almost all of Alberta. I would say you could get 10-15 cm. Here about 5-10. It’s going to be pretty amazing when the cold front passes! 10 degree temperature drops are suppose to happen! We will just have to wait and see.

Yes! A beautiful very warm(actually I found it too hot) 18 degrees today. I’m thinking Edmonton will push 22 or 23 tomorrow. As the trough passes tomorrow night, we could see a pop up thunderstorm with it. Cold front will fuel it! Monday to be honest I say Edmonton and south, around Red Deer, SW down to the rockies and to Calgary there will definitely be at least ”Periods of Rain.” Gotta love spring!

18 beautiful degrees as of 4pm, shooting for 21 or 22 tomorrow. I originally heard Rain forecasted for Monday, but now they’ve scaled that back to 60% chance of showers and 7. I love 40 or 60% chance of showers from a forecasters view, as it could mean a brief shower or an inch, either way it doesn’t help you, but the forecasters right. RRRRR
