Cooler Toward the Weekend

Somewhat cooler weather returns Friday. It will be very pleasant with highs in the low 20s, and plenty of sunshine mixed with only a few clouds. Cooler and wetter weaher arrives on the weekend. High temperatures both Saturday and Sunday will only reach the teens. An upper level low pushing across northern Alberta this weekend will put downward pressure on temperatures. There is also a chance of showers, likely on Sunday morning. It should warm up a bit Monday, only to become much cooler next week. Check out the 7 day trend on this page. If you dare.
