A look at Wednesday’s Edmonton Weather from Environment Canada.
It’s 16 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 4 km/h winds out of the east southeast.
At the start of the week, the Wednesday forecast called for one last heat blast from Summer with a 29 C day and clear skies. It seems Autumn didn’t take too kindly to this meteorological interloper, and the two conflicting and stubborn weather patterns will host a battle in the sky that will rain down on all of us.

Ok, maybe that’s a bit dramatic. Maybe.
As for the actual forecast, there’s a 30 per cent chance of showers Wednesday, and a risk of thunderstorms, with winds blowing up to 40 km/h and a high of 26 C. The clouds and showers will continue into the evening, ending after midnight but the 40 km/h winds will gust up to 60 km/h overnight. Thursday will be a return to some autumnal normalcy, with a mix of sun and cloud pushing 40 km/h winds and a high of 17 C.
Get those umbrellas out folks, because it’s going to be a wet and wild Wednesday.
