Kevin Stanfield's forecast: Showers, storms on the way, but first heat warnings carry on
Showers are on the way, but first, the heat warnings carry on – possibly into storms. The ridge of high pressure is moving on, at long last, after pushing us into one heck of a streak:
An easy second place, but we'll fall off just a day short of breaking a 124-year-old record.
As the wave of uplift starts sidling southward Friday, central Alberta runs a risk for storms. It'll continue moving, and with that, we run a risk Saturday. A weaker impulse is expected Sunday, but we still grab at a chance for stormy weather.
With everything being eventual, the starting block for the bottoming-out is now slated for Monday evening, with Tuesday marking scattered showers and a steep drop.
Your five day forecast:
Thursday
- Evening: clear, low 15 C
Friday
- Partly cloudy
- Daytime high: 31 C
- Evening: some cloud, low 17 C
