Edmonton Weather Update: Spring is in the Air!

Good morning, Edmonton! Pamela Gardner has the latest on today’s conditions and a look ahead at a remarkably warm week. After a damp start, showers are tapering off, giving way to improving conditions by late morning and into the afternoon. While clouds will linger early on, expect to see them slowly clearing as the day progresses.

Daylight Saving Time & Evening Sunshine

Remember, we ‘sprang forward’ last night with the start of Daylight Saving Time! You’ll likely notice the shift with more evening sunshine. Yesterday’s sunset was at 5:41 PM, but today we enjoy sunset at 6:42 PM, and by March 24th, it will be at or after 7:00 PM. Enjoy those longer evenings!

A Dramatic Warm-Up is Coming

Get ready for a significant temperature climb! Highs will be well above the normal average of 43°F throughout the week. Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be particularly warm, with Tuesday potentially reaching a balmy 70°F – nearly 30 degrees above normal! This unseasonably warm weather will accelerate snowmelt, leading to higher river and stream levels. Minor flooding is possible, so stay informed and be prepared.

Potential Flooding & Mid-Week Rain

While the warmth is welcome, it’s important to be aware of the potential for increased water levels. The rapid snowmelt will contribute to higher flows in rivers and streams. Looking ahead, rain chances return mid to late week, with the possibility of showers from Wednesday through Thursday.

Looking Ahead: A Continued Mild Trend

After Tuesday’s peak warmth, temperatures will remain mild, staying in the 40s and 50s for the remainder of the week. While not as dramatically warm as earlier in the week, it’s a welcome change from the recent colder temperatures.
