After a dreary May long weekend for Edmonton, a big blast of heat is forecast to be on the way for the city, bringing with it a decent temperature swing, too.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Edmonton is forecast to see chillier temperatures this week, with a below-average high of 13°C today and a chance of showers, before a brisk dip to an overnight low of 3°C tonight.
Tomorrow brings the chance of showers popping up in YEG with a daytime high of 13°C and an overnight low of 3°C.
Looking ahead to the end of the work week, a gradual warmup is on the way, with daytime highs reaching 15°C right through Friday to Sunday.
Things really start to heat up after the weekend, with Monday holding a stunning daytime high of 24°C, followed by a scorching daytime high of 28°C for Tuesday.
