We get a brief taste of some chilly autumn weather today. Temperatures will hold steady around the freezing mark through the day and we'll have wind chill values in the -5 C range.
Wind should be 15-20 km/h with gusts in the 30-40 km/h range.
No significant snow is expected in the Edmonton area, but a few scattered flurries are possible, especially this morning.
There IS accumulating snow in northeastern Alberta around Fort McMurray and in parts of western and southern Alberta today.
After a weekend that had highs of 16 C on Saturday and 11 C on Sunday, highs in the 5 to 10 C range would feel "cold."
But...after today, those 5-10 C highs for the rest of the week should actually feel a bit better.
Mornings will continue to be on the chilly side with lows in the -1 to -5 C range.
However, we'll get some sunshine and less wind for Tuesday with a high near 7 C.
Partly cloudy and highs or 8 or 9 C for Wednesday-Friday. That's right around average for late October.
Then, up around 10 C for highs Saturday and Sunday.
So, today's a teaser of what's the come. But, the rest of this week should be a bit milder and a lot sunnier.
AND...after today, no significant chance of snow until the end of the month (slight chance around the 30th/31st).
Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:
Today - Cloudy and breezy. A few scattered flurries this morning.
Temperature steady around 0 through the day
Tonight - Mostly cloudy.
9pm: -2
Tuesday - Clearing early in the morning. Sunny for most of the day
Morning Low: -5
Afternoon High: 7
Wednesday - Mix of sun & cloud.
Morning Low: -2
Afternoon High: 8
Thursday - Partly cloudy
Morning Low: -1
Afternoon High: 8
Friday - Mainly sunny
Morning Low: -3
Afternoon High: 9
Saturday - Partly cloudy.
Morning Low: -2
Afternoon High: 11
