There is a hot weekend on the horizon, but it is not here yet, St. Albert.
Light showers overnight cleared by Thursday morning, helped along by a light 20 km/h breeze that could produce gusts of 40 km/h by noon, according to Environment Canada.
The temperature is expected to a fully autumnal 11 C. The wind is expected to stick around until about 8 p.m., overnight beyond midnight into Friday, the air is forecast to be calm, below 5 km/h across the Edmonton region and the mercury will dip to about 4 C.
Would you believe the sun will come back on the weekend? The forecast for Saturday is sunny with a high of 18 C, almost hard to believe with the overnight low of 1 C. And Sunday and the heat should just keep coming on Sunday, that high holiday for all NFL fans. Find a way to get that TV near a window, because 25 C is the forecast maximum, not too shabby for a thirteenth of October. Overnight low 6 C.
The fourteenth is looking pretty, pretty, pretty not bad, too, with an overnight low of 5 C and a high of 21 C expected for Monday.
