A broad upper ridge will move over Alberta, keeping skies mostly clear and helping boost temperatures.

We get one more day of cooler-than-average temperatures today. Sunshine and a high of 6 or 7 C this afternoon in Edmonton.

Clear skies tonight mean that temperatures will slip a handful of degrees below 0 C Tuesday morning. But, we’ll see a double-digit high Tuesday afternoon.
