Thursday

After a sunny start to the day, a push of air from the Pacific, along with a low pressure system developing in Alberta, will build in the clouds during the day with a late afternoon and evening chance of showers or thunderstorms.

The flow aloft is expected to funnel in smoke from B.C. wildfires into Thursday, which will trap some of the sun’s energy, so depending how much moves in, we may only hit a high of 29 degrees.

If the smoke is less dense during the day, we could climb up to an afternoon high in the low 30s.

Friday

A risk of thunderstorms and rain moves in for Friday as that low pressure system swings into Saskatchewan.

The best chance of precipitation and storms is during the morning and later in the afternoon and into the evening as we rise up to a daytime high in the mid 20s.

Cooler air will slip in behind the system on Saturday with some lingering cloud that should clear out later on as we climb to a high in the mid 20s before a building upper ridge returns us into the sun and a daytime high in the upper 20s on Sunday.
