Temperatures remain well below average for early March.
But, there are only a few days left in the cold spell and we'll get into a quick warm-up starting Thursday.
15-20 km/h wind today will produce wind chills in the -30s this morning and the -20s this afternoon.
Actual temperatures will go from the mid -20s C to the -16 C range this afternoon.
Sunshine this morning will give way to some clouds this afternoon and that cloud cover will increase overnight.
1-2 cm of light snow is possible Tuesday and then we're back to a bit of sun for the back half of the week.
Morning temperatures in the -21 C to -26 C range Tuesday and Wednesday in the city and afternoon highs near -12 C.
There's some uncertainty with how MUCH of a warm-up we'll see by the end of this week, but it's fairly certain that the warm-up will start Thursday.
It's possible we're close to 0 C by Thursday and a few degrees above 0 C by Friday.
For now, I'm going with a high near -5 C Thursday, near 0 C Friday and the 2 C to 5 C for highs this coming weekend.
