It's levon as well. And lloydminster tended fort mcmurray, 13th in grande, prairie and jasper. Right now we get 14 here in the city for a daytime high today. There's your scattered showers across central parts of props to the west as well. Had some snow early in the day, looks like maybe a little bit of snow there in that canada asks region and a couple of lightning strikes. But for the most part, these are just been showers. You noticed around fort mcmurray, grand prairie, north towards peace river. That really has not been much in the way of precipitation affects skies are pretty clear north of fort mcmurray and up around the high level region here in the edmonton area, though, it's been mostly cloudy through the day, the 1st half the day had a couple sunny breaks, but more overcast than anything else through the afternoon. Now those showers going through looks like the just going to exit the south side of the city here fairly quickly. That right there should slip past the west and and you've got a break here until this next spotty shower activity war way off to the northwest of us. I think most of the city for the rest of tonight, just looking at mostly cloudy skies. And I think there's going to be too much in the way of further precipitation once this first wave goes through, there's tomorrow morning, most of the showers be off to the south and through parts of the central alberta could see some widely scattered showers once again pop up. So the mid to late afternoon tomorrow. Again, as we've been stressing most of the daytime hours dry is not a heavy, steady soaker, just some occasion ul spotty showers. And then friday actually looks fairly dry in edmonton, maybe a couple showers in the central alberta and then back into western parts of props. This is the big story. You get this cool air aloft. His upper trough and it just kind of sticks with us. There's the weekend finally by early next week, the brakes off to the northwest will start to see some warming but until then, temperatures are going to be locked into the 12 to 16 degree range for daytime highs. One in fort mcmurray tomorrow morning to see it through the peace country should be around or 4 degrees in edmonton, red deer, 12 degrees, fort mcmurray tomorrow afternoon. Closer to 20 though, with some sunshine across the northwest and about 12 into red deer tomorrow with a chance of some scattered showers. Again, no heavy, steady all day rain, 4 degrees in edmonton tomorrow, a little cooler outside the city and then and about 13 for a high tomorrow afternoon. 15 mix and cloud on friday, best chance for showers this weekend come saturday night into sunday morning. And there's the jump in temperatures spect into the mid to upper teens for the weekend and the low to mid 20's for highs next. All right, josh, thank you.
