Edmonton could see a 18°C temperature boost just in time for Halloween

With snow and recording-shattering cold in Edmonton this week, a wild temperature swing in the forecast toward warmth is welcome news to us.

Some cold temperatures are expected today and tomorrow, with overnight lows of -8°C and -11°C, according to the current forecast from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

Tuesday, October 31, is teasing a high of 7°C with a mix of sun and cloud, and when you do the math, that is a wicked 18°C temperature change from Friday evening to Tuesday, which is music to the ears for all the kids planning on going trick-or-treating!

So, there you have it.

The upcoming forecast doesn’t look the most pleasant for Edmonton; however, an early look at the start of winter in Alberta does seem pretty promising. Our fingers are crossed!
