Sherwood Park residents can look forward to a brief stretch of warm weather early this week before temperatures drop significantly for the remainder of the period. According to Environment Canada, local temperatures will climb to 16°C on Sunday, April 19, and 18°C on Monday, April 20.
This early-week warmth sits above the seasonal norm of 13°C for late April. As of Sunday, The Weather Network reports no active weather alerts for the area, suggesting favourable conditions for those planning outdoor activities.
However, the mild weather will be short-lived. A shift is expected on Wednesday, April 22, when rain arrives and high temperatures fall to 7°C. This represents an 11°C drop from the highs seen earlier in the week. The cool-down will continue into Thursday and Friday, April 23 and 24, with daytime highs ranging between 5°C and 7°C and overnight lows dipping to -5°C.
Gardeners are encouraged to take steps to protect sensitive plants from these freezing overnight temperatures. This volatility aligns with broader seasonal trends for Alberta, where a colder-than-normal spring has followed a brief period of record warmth in February, according to reports from The Weather Network.
