Edmonton forecast to see hottest day of year so far then a BIG temperature drop

Get those sunnies out, Edmonton. The hottest temps of the year so far are set to hug our city before a big temperature drop arrives shortly after.

We can’t forget about how gorgeous Friday will be too, at 27°C, and you’d better get out and enjoy the warmth while it lasts. On Saturday evening, the temperature takes a wild swing here in Edmonton, dropping to 6°C.

When you do the math between Saturday’s daytime high and overnight low, that’s a bumpy temperature change of 22 degrees in one day. Be sure to open up your windows later in the evening for a cool sleep!

Sunday isn’t looking too cute with a mix of sun and cloud, high of 16°C and low of 5°C; however, temperatures rebound as we start a fresh workweek and reach as high as 24°C on Tuesday.
