Heat and humidity arrives with possible severe weather risk.

 I know I’m a little bit late for a weekend blog but I still have some interesting news about the weather ahead his weekend will likely end up being hot , humid and stormy with the potential chance for severe thunderstorms. You can thank it to a trough of low pressure moving into the region. Find out where and when the most active weather is expected; and how warm it will get this weekend. Also there will be some information on the week ahead too. 

Tonight: Expect mostly calm weather conditions as we sit on the eastern edge of high pressure, a few clouds are possible in the extreme southern sections of the province with the most of the active weather occurring in Alberta. Temperatures tonight will drop into the mid to high teens for a majority of the region. 

Saturday: A hot and sunny day is expected during the day on Saturday ahead of a area of low pressure, dew point temperatures will rise into the high teens to the low 20’s which will likely increase the humidity. Temperatures on the day Saturday will likely rise into the mid to high 20’s, with temperatures in the low 30’s possible along and south of the trans Canada highway. There is a chance for some pop up showers and thunderstorms during the day but another chance of them are expected during the evening near the Saskatchewan border.

Areas in the interlakes and the parklands have a risk for thunderstorms in the overnight period. Some of them may be strong but if they do become severe it’ll end up being brief.
