Josh Classen's forecast: Taking a run at 20 C (for one day only)
CTV
We'll be close to the record high in Edmonton on Tuesday. The warmest April 2 on record is 21.7 C set in 1992.
We'll be close to the record high in Edmonton on Tuesday. The warmest April 2 on record is 21.7 C set in 1992.
I don't think we'll be able to beat that this afternoon, but we'll get to around 20 C.
(side note: April 2, 2016, was also close to the record, with a high of 21.5 C).
After hitting 13 C on Monday and with a forecast high of 11 on Wednesday, we're off to a warm start to April.
Even the "cool down" coming Thursday/Friday puts us no cooler than average for this time of year and there's another warm-up slated for the weekend and next week.
As for precip - Edmonton and area will miss out of the spring snowstorm that'll hit western and southern Alberta.
But, we'll probably see a little bit of mixed precipitation Wednesday and possibly again Friday.
