A look at Thursday’s weather by Environment Canada.

It’s 11 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 12 km/h winds out of the west northwest.

We get one day’s reprieve from the incessant wetness we’ve been experiencing, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Thurdsay’s forecast is…clear! Well, clearing, anyways, as the clouds will part throughout the day with a high of 21 C and no gusts to speak of. Those clouds will come together overnight, and by Friday we’ll be back to a 60 per cent chance of showers and a high of 21 C.
