Edmonton is experiencing cool and breezy conditions today, Wednesday, May 20, 2026, according to Cory Edel's forecast. Temperatures are expected to reach a high near 15°C, with brisk winds making it feel cooler. However, warmer weather is on the horizon as Thursday promises a return to more seasonal temperatures, climbing into the low 20s.
Today's Weather Details
Cloud cover will dominate much of the day, with occasional sunny breaks. Winds from the northwest at 20-30 km/h will create a wind chill factor, so residents are advised to dress warmly. No significant precipitation is expected, but a few isolated showers cannot be ruled out in the afternoon.
Looking Ahead to Thursday
By Thursday, a high-pressure system will move in, bringing sunny skies and warmer air. Daytime highs are forecast to reach 22°C, making it a pleasant day for outdoor activities. Overnight lows will remain mild, around 10°C.
This shift follows a pattern of fluctuating spring weather in Edmonton. The cool spell today is due to a low-pressure system tracking across the region, but it will quickly move eastward, allowing warmer air to flow in from the south.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the warmer conditions on Thursday, as a return to cooler temperatures is possible over the weekend.
