Edmonton weather: Cool morning but a warming trend starts today
We've only been in the 20s once in the past five days in Edmonton but that pattern is about to change.
We'll climb into the low to mid 20s for afternoon highs today and through the rest of week, although we're off to a crisp start today with temperatures in the 2 to 5 C range early this morning in the region.
Morning sun will give way to a mix of sun and cloud for this afternoon and the wind will start to pick up.
We'll have gusts around 30 km/h midday and 30-40 km/h gusts through the afternoon.
There's a pocket of showers in NW Alberta that will weaken as it moves ESE. I think any lingering midday showers should be fairly scattered and will probably pass north of the city.
So, the best chance for a shower or thunderstorm in Edmonton and area will be this evening or late tonight.
Each of the next four days has a least a chance of a shower or thunderstorm, but those should be hit and miss.
The most likely timing would be in the afternoon or evening hours Wednesday/Thursday.
Friday and Saturday both look like they could feature some showers earlier in the day, but the confidence on precip for those days is still pretty low.
Elsewhere around Alberta: fog in east-central AB will burn off quickly this morning.
Areas from Red Deer south through Calgary and Lethbridge have a slight chance for some severe thunderstorms later today.
Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:
Today - Sunny this morning. Mix of sun & cloud this afternoon.
Wind becoming south 20 gusting to 40 km/h midday and this afternoon.
High: 23

Bay and Algoma Buskers Festival marks 10th year
While some intense weather caused some concern over the weekend, the 2025 Bay and Algoma Buskers Festival was a success, organizers said. The 10th annual festival ran Saturday and Sunday in the Bay and Algoma neighbourhood. It featured various food and merchandise vendors, and performers from Thunder Bay, and around the world, including: Steve Goodtime Seb and Fritzzz Fraser Hooper Skye the Guy Kasmir the Hungry The Kidd Creed Statuary Women in Silk Taiko Drummers Phineas Gauge, and the Bay Street Bastards. Things got underway later than planned on Sunday, due to a heavy downpour that hit the city late in the morning, said Uriel Lubuk, one of the event's coordinators. "It was awesome to see a lot of the arts and culture community come out," he said. "Awesome vendors, lots of smiley faces, lots of kids." "We've always wanted free family fun," Lubuk said. "People come down, tip the buskers, see something new and amazing that they haven't seen before." One of the local buskers was Zachary Ross, who performed both Saturday and Sunday. "I've started learning how to do folk music," he said. "I host open mics at Lakehead Beer Company, and yeah, just love the community and love going out to play." "I think it's a great time," he said of the festival. "I love seeing everyone out here." Lubuk said organizers are already turning their attention to next year's buskers festival "and just seeing how we could push through, do a little bit better next year, but just keep the vibes the same."

Over 1,000 participants swim, cycle and run at Ironman 70.3 west of Calgary
Over 1,000 competitors swam, cycled and ran at Ironman 70.3 Sunday at Lake Harmony, west of the city. It might have been a little wet and chilly for the folkies on Sunday, but the weather was just right for the competitors in the Ironman 70.3. Over one thousand people from around the world swam, cycled and ran Sunday at Lake Harmony, west of Calgary. For event organizer Tom Bamford, it couldn't have been nicer. 'We're thrilled to be at the community here, just west of Calgary,' he said. 'Lake Harmony is a great venue, because we have open highways, we have vistas of the Rocky Mountains, (and) a beautiful lake to swim in.' 'We've got 1,100 athletes from around the world, (from) 16 countries,' he added, 'and it's a world championship qualifying race for (the Ironman event in) Nice, France next year.' Bamford said being a world championship qualifying race is significant. 'Well, the race is part of a global series of Ironman events,' he said. 'The 70.3 level is a certain distance, and it has a world championships that athletes can qualify for -- 30 men, 30 women in their own age groups can qualify for the world championships. Tom Bamford, July 27, 2025 Tom Bamford is the race manager of Ironman 70.3, which took place Sunday at Lake Harmony west of Calgary. (Tyson Fedor, CTV Calgary) 'We also have hundreds of other athletes,' he added, 'that just really want to get the distance done. And we have relay teams too, enjoying the day.' He said the wet, chilly weather conditions Sunday made for a tough cycle but by the time participants get to the running portion of the race, they feel better. 'When you're on the bicycle and the wind and the rain (come down), it is a challenging experience, and we're doing some modifications on the course just to make sure everybody gets home safe and sound,' he said. 'But once they hit the run, they start warming up, they get the blood flowing down to the feet -- and everybody kind of is in a better position, and they look forward to that finish line.'
