Edmonton weather for Nov. 7: Record-high temps [Video]

Temperatures in Edmonton today and tomorrow will be more on par with early-to-mid September highs and lows, rather than early November.

But…we’ll see a cooldown through the weekend and early next week.

The record high for Nov. 7 is 15.0 C in 1949. We’ll be close, but probably short of that record today. I think we’ll get to around 13 C this afternoon.

The Nov. 8 record high is 19.5 C in 2016. Again, that record is safe…but we’ll get to 15 or 16 C in Edmonton tomorrow.

Our record LOW for Nov. 7 is 4.4 C (1905). It looks like we’ll break that record with a morning low of 5.9 C (and we’ll probably stay above 4.4 C through this evening).
