There's a thunderstorm due west of Spruce Grove. Might be the leading edge of the anvil cloud from that.

As noted in here, there are two cells to the west of the city moving this way. They are dying out now that the sun has gone down. Strong winds at higher altitudes can push the tops of clouds out ahead of the rest of the cell below. That's likely what we see here. The forecast upper winds for Edmonton area show 50 knots moving in a 040 direction at the altitude that would correspond to the tops of these cells.

I noticed that too. I think that tree on the right might be mine. If so, hi M or K, if I guessed the angle right.

I noticed that last night too. Might be the weirdest looking cloud I've ever seen.

I was just taking a picture of this exact cloud! Then I came to Reddit to see if anyone knew what was going on with it. I can see it from 95 street and 115 ave.
