Josh Classen's forecast: Cooler, with some light snow today

After a warm and melty weekend, get set for some cooler air to drop in today.

Temperatures will go from above zero early this morning to the -5 C range by midday.

We'll hold steady near -5 C through the afternoon and early evening in the Edmonton region.

 

Some occasional pockets of light snow are expected to move through the region today.

This doesn't look like a big, heavy dump of snow. But, we could pick up 1 to 4 cm by the end of the afternoon.

 

Warmer air pushes back in for Tuesday/Wednesday with afternoon highs back above zero by a degree or three.

The end of the week has highs near the freezing mark and morning lows near -10 C.

 

So, if you're suffering from "Rink Melt," just be patient. The weather should start to cooperate a bit more later this week.

AND...looking LONG Range: the outlook for early next week has highs back in minus double digits for a few days.

 

After today's light snow, not much chance for precipitation in the Edmonton region until Sunday/Monday.
