Rain's Moving In—Grab an Umbrella, Edmonton, May 31.
Sunday's mild but wet. Stick indoors, catch a show, and give yourself extra time if you're heading anywhere.
Good morning. It's Sunday, and we're sitting at 9°C with a rainfall warning in effect—so grab an umbrella before you head out. The UV's low at 2.0, so you're not chasing sun today anyway. Light holds till 9:51 PM, so you've got a long evening to work with even if the rain keeps you inside for the afternoon.
A couple of quick heads-ups on the Lert side: stop 1243 at 101 St and 102 Ave southbound is closed today, and Route 701 has detours running both ways—one from Government TC going south to 109 St and 97 Ave, the other heading north from Whildle Hill and Queen Elizabeth Park Road. Nothing that'll wreck your Sunday drive, but if you're heading that way, give yourself a beat of extra time.
On the bigger picture: the Canadian soccer team's gearing up for a World Cup warm-up against Uzbekistan, and there's a federal push happening around a fall separation referendum if you've been following that conversation. Longer term, there's talk of high-speed rail landing on a new High Level Bridge—nothing concrete yet, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
With the rain settling in, today's the day to lean into something cozy. If you're thinking food, skip the patio—grab a seat somewhere warm and settle in. The rain's going to be steady enough that you'll want to be dry.
As for the evening: that rainfall warning's sticking around, so tonight's a stream night. Settle in with something good—this is the weather for it. You've got plenty of daylight left, but once the sun dips and the rain's going, you're tucked in for the night anyway.
Stay dry out there. See you tomorrow.
