With temperatures forecast to rise in Edmonton, the city says it will lift its extreme weather measures on Monday.
The protocol started a week ago and was extended on Thursday. The city activates it when temperatures are expected to drop to -20 C with wind chill for three nights in a row.

According to Environment Canada and Climate Cange, Saturday's overnight low was -17 C (-26 C with the windchill), -19 C (-28 C with windchill) on Friday, -28 C (-33 C) on Thursday, -12 C (-19 C) on Wednesday), -23 C (-30 C) on Tuesday and -16 C (-23 C) on Monday.
Monday's overnight low is forecast to drop to -15 C, -22 C with the windchill before the temperature rises to 2 C. A high of 8 C is expected Tuesday before temperatures drop again on Wednesday. The high that day is forecast to be -10 C.
