A look at Sunday’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

It’s 2 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station Wednesday morning with 3 km/h winds out of the south southeast.

Looking out my window this morning and seeing so much grey in the sky had me thinking rain was imminent but apparently not so. That’s just how today is going to go. Mostly cloudy — the sun might peak its way through once in a while — but it’s mostly just going to be clouds. There’s a slight chance we see some rain overnight tonight but the bulk of it is expected to start tomorrow afternoon and carry strong all-day Tuesday.

Lord knows we can use the rain, right? Especially if you look further down the forecast into next weekend…high of 28 C Saturday!? Let’s gooo!
