Josh Classen’s forecast: Cold spell hits bottom, but it’s not quite done yet
This is the bottom. After a string of days with mornings in the mid minus 20s, Edmonton hit -27 C this morning.
That’s the coldest morning in Edmonton since mid-January and the coldest temperature we’ll see for a long, long while in the city.
Outside the city and in east-central Alberta, temperatures slipped into the -30s this morning.
Thursday morning will still be cold, but not quite THIS cold. AND…it’ll be the end of the cold spell.
Sunny, light wind and a high in the mid minus teens in Edmonton today. But, up to around -3 C Thursday afternoon.
So, it’ll be a quick and dramatic warm-up through the day Thursday as we’ll start in the -20s.
Wind stays fairly light through today and tomorrow, somewhere around 5-10 km/h.
The upper low is moving off and we’ll get a short-lived (and weak) upper ridge moving in for Friday and Saturday.
That’ll help boost temperatures above 0 C by a couple degrees Friday and a handful of degrees above 0 C Saturday.
The ridge collapses through the weekend and we’ll probably see temperatures slip slightly early next week.
But, we won’t fall back into a cold snap. Temperatures should still be in the 2 C to 5 C range through the first half of next week.
As for precipitation, no significant snow expected in the Edmonton region in the coming days.
One last note: Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend. Clocks “spring forward” one hour early Sunday morning.
