Edmonton weather: Clearing and cool after stormy morning
Thunderstorms ripped through the Edmonton region early this morning, producing some small hail in parts of the city.
But skies are clearing and we'll see some sunshine for midday and this afternoon.
Temperatures hit highs of 16 C Saturday and 18 C Sunday in the city and we'll end up in the mid to upper teens again today.
Warmer air moves in starting tomorrow as daytime highs jump into the low to mid 20s for the rest of the week.
Thunderstorms are likely in eastern and southern Alberta later today, with the potential for some severe storms east of Calgary.
There's also a risk of funnel clouds in east-central Alberta this afternoon (those cold-core funnel clouds don't pose a huge risk of touching down and becoming a tornado, but the low risk doesn't mean a zero risk).
A mix of sun and cloud for Tuesday/Wednesday in Edmonton and area with a slight chance of a midday or early-afternoon shower or thunderstorm over or near the city.
We're expecting some showers and thunderstorms to develop in NW Alberta early Tuesday morning, some of that may move SE into the Edmonton region around lunchtime or early in the afternoon.
The best chance for thunderstorms Tuesday will be in the Peace country in the morning and again late in the day and in the Red Deer region late in the day Tuesday.
The possibility of a scattered shower or thunderstorm near the Edmonton area Wednesday isn't zero, but it's a fairly low risk.
Areas around Slave Lake east to Lac La Biche/Fort McMurray, as well as southern Alberta look to have the best potential for thunderstorms on Wednesday.
Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:
Today - Clearing this morning. Sunny with a few clouds this afternoon.
High: 16
Tonight - Mainly clear.
9pm: 13
Tuesday - Mix of sun & cloud. Slight risk of a shower or thunderstorm midday or early-afternoon.
Morning Low: 6
Afternoon High: 23
Wednesday - Mix of sun & cloud.
Morning Low: 12
Afternoon High: 25
Thursday - Mostly cloudy. 30% chance of late-day showers or thunderstorms.
Morning Low: 12

Wild weather ahead of Canada Day celebrations
The nation's capital saw a crazy couple of weather days, from a record-breaking heat wave, to cool and rain. June 28, 2025 (Camille Wilson/ CTV News Ottawa) The nation's capital saw a crazy couple of weather days, from a record-breaking heat wave, to cool and rain, starting with heavy rain and thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday morning, leaving localized pooling on roads. While temperatures did warm up on Saturday, it left people unsure of what to put on. 'Who knows what to wear today. If we get wet, we get wet,' says Karis Weightman. That didn't stop people from getting outside Saturday to enjoy the day once the weather warmed up. 'It's quite nice. We had a bit of rain this morning but, now it's warming up,' said Emilie Brazeau, an Ottawa resident. 'This is great weather for a Canada Day weekend. A lot of warmth. Way better than rain and way better than snow. So we'll take it,' said Roxanne Lefebvre, another Ottawa resident. The next few day will be another whirlwind of weather with more heat and wet weather on the way. Environment Canada says a hot air mass is expected to settle in Sunday and stick around for the next few days. 'The hottest day is expected to be Monday, with that daytime high of 32°C. Hot temperatures will persist into Wednesday. This heat will not get as warm as it did during the heat event last week and we are not expecting records to be broken with this event,' said Environment Canada in an email. 'It's been a long winter. Every day that's sunny and warm, we'll take all the vitamin D that we can take,' said Lefebvre. 'It's not going to spoil our Canada Day celebrations by any means,' added Dan Manns, who's visiting the capital. 'That's the beauty of Canada. We never know what we're going to get with the weather.' Lisa Addison says she is not a fan of the heat and isn't looking forward to more of it on the way, but she will sacrifice it to take her dad out from the hospital to get some fresh air. 'I love the hot weather,' said Tony Meagan, an Ottawa resident. Environment Canada says it will be a warm Canada Day despite the wet weather expected. 'For Canada Day, we are expecting another low pressure to move through early Tuesday morning. With this, the Ottawa area can expect more widespread showers and thunderstorms in the morning before diminishing to scattered showers in the afternoon with perhaps the odd thunderstorm. The daytime high is forecast to be 28°C,' said Environment Canada.
