Cloudy Day Sunny Day by Donald Crews5/15/2023 ![]() ![]() There's a slight risk of some scattered pop-up showers in the foothills later this week. (Fire crews were dispatched after I called 911 and they were able to put it out before it damaged any homes, but MAN was it close to be REALLY bad.) We're already dealing with a large fire west of Edmonton, we've had a fire in the river valley in the past week.and my wife and I woke up to a brush fire in the wooded park area behind our house in St. The heat and spring wind is a bad combination. I'm not trying to draw any parallels, but it remains incredibly dry and with no measurable precipitation in the forecast for central and north-central Alberta this week. The 30-year average high for the first seven days of May is 15 C.ΔΆ016 is also the year of the Fort McMurray fire dubbed "the Beast." ![]() It hit 30.0 C on May 3, 2016, and then 29.5 C on May 7. That's the last time we had a 30-degree day in the first week of May. ![]() In the past 30 years, 2016 is the only year with an average high above 25 C through the first seven days of May. This could be the hottest start to May in the past 30 years. ![]()
