Melting time: Edmonton forecast to see a 36°C temperature change soon
Although a winter storm moved into the province as we started March, the forecast suggests a big temperature change is on the way for Edmonton.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Edmonton will see a stunning turnaround in temperatures this week, with a chilly high of -16°C today with a mix of sun and cloud, before a brisk dip to an overnight low of -23°C tonight.
Tomorrow brings light snow to YEG with a daytime high of -11°C and a bitter overnight low of -25°C.
Looking ahead to the end of the work week, a gradual warmup is on the way, with daytime highs reaching zero and 3°C for Thursday and Friday, respectively.
Things really start to heat up as we hit the weekend, with Saturday holding a stunning daytime high of 11°C, followed by a lovely daytime high of 7°C for Sunday.
When you do the math between Tuesday’s overnight low and Saturday’s daytime high, that’s a wicked 36°C temperature swing. Fingers crossed this forecast holds up!
