Two more cold days and then warm air returns to the Edmonton region.
Northern and Eastern Alberta remain under Extreme Cold Warnings (wind chills in the -35 to -40 range this morning).
Most of those areas will also get a break from the coldest air on Sunday.
But, for Fort McMurray...that'll only mean a return to -10 for a day before dropping back to highs in the minus teens early next week.
Edmonton holds steady in the -15 range today with a wind chill in the -20s.
A few flurries. But, no significant accumulation.
The Peace Country could get 2-5cm of snow today.
That region gets another shot of snow Saturday morning.
The Slave Lake/Athabasca areas and then Fort McMurray to Lloydminster regions could see 1-5cm of snow Saturday afternoon/evening.
While Edmonton has a CHANCE of some light snow Saturday. It doesn't look like it'll amount to much more than a cm or 3.
Temperatures in the Metro region jump back to around 0 Sunday.
We'll cool to highs near -5 Mon/Tue/Wed. THEN...near or above zero for the end of next week.
