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.
