Josh Classen's forecast: 'Warmest' day in weeks for Edmonton and it's just the start
![wxblog Jan. 23 2024 wxblog Jan. 23 2024](/content/dam/ctvnews/en/images/2024/1/23/wxblog-jan--23-2024-1-6738167-1706019507887.png)
Temperatures are set to hit single digits in Edmonton today. That'll be the first time we're above -10 C in about two weeks.
Jan. 8's high of -9 C was the last time we had a single-digit high.
BUT...we should be even warmer than -9 C today.
Today's high around -5 C will be the mildest day since Jan. 5's high of -1 C.
Wednesday's high will be a degree or two warmer and we're expecting to be right around (maybe slightly above) 0 C by Friday afternoon.
The warmer air continues to flood in through the weekend and into next week with daytime highs projected to be in the 4 to 8 C range from Sunday through to Thursday.
So, after a lengthy cold spell, January will end on a warmer-than-average note.
No significant chance of precipitation for the Edmonton area in the next few days.
Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:
Today - Morning clouds. Clearing this afternoon.
Light wind.
High: -5
