Edmonton weather for Nov. 8: Cooling starts [Video]

Temperatures will be close to record highs across much of central and north-central Alberta again today.

A dozen record highs were set in Alberta on Thursday, including at the Edmonton International Airport. The main Edmonton weather station at Blatchford hit 14.3 C, just short of the record of 15.0 C from 1949. You can find all of Thursday’s record highs here.

Today’s record high for Edmonton is 19.5 C (set in 2016). I think we’ll come up short of that record again, but a few other spots could set records this afternoon.

We’ll get to around 16 C in the city today, under mainly sunny skies.

After today, the warm spell is over. Daytime highs will drop more than 10 C from today through the weekend.

Temperatures will remain above average through the weekend and into Remembrance Day on Monday.

But…that’s mostly just because the average high for Nov. 9-11 is in the 1-2 …
