It’s been a cold week of weather so far for Edmonton; however, a massive rise in temperatures is on the way soon.

The cold that has crept into the city this week will be kicked aside starting this weekend, with a bit of temperature yoyoing early next week.

According to The Weather Network, today is set to reach a high of just -22°C, with an overnight low of -31°C. Factor in the windchill and it’s a bone-chilling -40°C. Yikes!

Turning to this weekend’s forecast, we see a drastic rise in temperatures with a daytime high of -4°C for Sunday, December 4.

Compare that to the wind chill values of -40°C expected tonight, that’s a wide swing of 36°C in just a few days. Classic Alberta weather!
