It’s 16.3 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with a 3 km/h breeze from the southeast. The forecast high for today is 24 C.
The long-term lookahead is maintaining its story that today will be our last before likely showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, so, you know that thing they say about making hay.
The international air show, and heritage festival are still on for those looking for structured recreation.
I’d also take this opportunity to remind readers there will be no Journal or Sun Monday.
