Temperatures in much of Alberta will be a couple degrees colder than Wednesday.
BUT...it may FEEL a bit milder as the wind stays light through the day.
Wind should be below 10km/h and you really don't notice much of a difference between temperature & "feels like".
Apps & websites will auto-generate a wind chill regardless of wind speed.
But, if you watch closely...you'll notice that it's only around or above 10km/h that it starts to "feel" about 10 degrees colder (or more).
Downtown Edmonton might see some wind picking up & gusting a bit between buildings today.
However, across most of the region & most of Central & Northern Alberta...wind chill should not be much of a factor.
Enjoy today's break. Wind picks up again tomorrow & this weekend.
It's going to FEEL closer to -30 late Friday afternoon & much of Saturday afternoon.
Sunday & Monday look even windier (NW 20-30km/h).
So...although temperatures will likely climb back above -20 early next week, it may not feel like it.
Looking LONG Range - still no sign of temperatures returning to average (highs near -5) in the next 10 days.
