EDMONTON — It’s day five of the deep freeze and we still have three more days with highs in the -20s (if you include today).
AND…it’s not like the weekend will be WARM, just warmER with highs in the minus teens.
So…when does this cold spell end and temperatures return to around -5?
Looks like the answer is: sometime next week, possibly as early as the middle of next week.
In the short-term…wind speeds today and Thursday should be a bit lighter than yesterday. But, 10-20 km/h wind will still give us wind chills near -40 in the morning and in the mid -30s through the afternoons.
More cloudcover expected over over the next few days as well. Not completely overcast. But, partly to mostly cloudy skies today and tomorrow.
