Josh Classen's forecast: Cooler-than-average end to March
Cool – but not cold – temperatures through these last few days of March.
It's a month that's already had 14 cooler-than-average days (we'll probably end with 18 or 19).
BUT...11 of those 14 days were in between March 1 and 13. Seven of the past 11 days have had above-average daytime highs.
Up until this past weekend, we had really turned a corner with temperatures.
Now, it's not getting COLD like the beginning of March. But, the seasonal average high for March 27-April 1 is in the 6 to 8 C range.
We'll be cooler than that all this week.
Today, we're off to a chilly start with temperatures in the -10 C to -13 C range across the Edmonton region.
We'll see a "mix of sun and cloud" through the day, but temperatures will stay below 0 C with a high near -3 C.
Tuesday morning looks similar (maybe even a smidge colder). BUT...temperatures should climb two to five degrees above 0 C in the afternoon.
Not much chance for precipitation this week. There might be a few flurries or a bit of light snow late Wednesday into Thursday morning.
But, it certainly doesn't look like we're getting a spring storm any time soon.
Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:
Today - Mix of sun & cloud.
High: -3
Tonight - Partly cloudy.
9pm: -7
Tuesday - Partly cloudy in the morning. Sunny in the afternoon.
Morning Low: -13
Afternoon High: 3
Wednesday - Mix of sun & cloud. 30% chance of late-day flurries.
Morning Low: -8
Afternoon High: 4
Thursday - Mostly cloudy.
Morning Low: -7
Afternoon High: -1
Friday - Mix of sun & cloud.
Morning Low: -8
Afternoon High: 3
Saturday - Mostly cloudy.
Morning Low: -5
Afternoon High: 6
