EDMONTON -- Temperatures are about 10 degrees warmer than Wednesday morning across the Edmonton region.
BUT the wind is a lot stronger and that means the wind chill is bigger issue than yesterday.
Wind will continue to be 10-15 km/h through the day giving wind chills of -35 to -40.
AND, we'll have snow and blowing snow through at least the first half of the day (possibly carrying into this afternoon).
1-4 cm of accumulation is expected.
Add the lack of sun to the wind and today may have a warmer thermometer reading, but probably won't FEEL better than yesterday.
Temperatures ARE slowly creeping up though.
We'll be in the -25 range today and Friday.
Sunday looks like our first day above -20.
Monday should have temperatures back in single digits and we'll be near average all next week.
