Check the live forecast above for the immediate outlook, then consult Environment Canada’s radar for real-time precipitation tracking. Edmonton radar currently shows a band of light rain approaching from the west, with echoes around 15–25 dBZ, indicating steady drizzle arriving within the next 30–60 minutes.
What does the Edmonton radar show right now?
The edmonton weather radar environment canada C-band site near Calmar provides reflectivity data at 10‑minute intervals, covering a 256‑km radius. As of the latest scan, patchy precipitation (light green to yellow echoes) stretches from the Alberta foothills toward the city, moving east‑northeast at about 30 km/h. This aligns with the edmonton radar weather network and accuweather edmonton radar loops, which both show the same band weakening slightly as it crosses the North Saskatchewan River valley. For the next few hours, occasional light showers are likely, but no severe storms are indicated.
How can you use the radar for planning?
For a broader view, the alberta weather radar live composite integrates data from Carvel, Strathmore, and Schuler to show system‑scale movement. If you need a longer trend, the weather edmonton 14 days forecast (available on the Edmonton Weather page) can supplement the short‑term radar picture. The edmonton weather radar 24 hours loop is useful for seeing how the band has evolved since early morning; expect lingering light drizzle until late afternoon, then clearing from the west. No warnings are currently in effect, but watch the Weather Warning page for updates if the band intensifies.
Is rain expected in Edmonton today?
Yes, the radar shows light rain moving in from the west over the next hour. Combined with the live forecast above, expect periodic showers until early evening, then gradual clearing. Precipitation intensity will stay light—under 2 mm/h—so no flooding concerns.
What time will precipitation arrive in Edmonton?
Based on radar motion and the edmonton radar weather network loop, the leading edge of drizzle should reach central Edmonton about 30–45 minutes from now. The band is moving at roughly 30 km/h east‑northeast, so timing may vary slightly across the city.
Where can I see the live Edmonton radar loop?
