EDMONTON -- Morning sun will give way to some increasing cloud this afternoon in the Edmonton region.
The wind will pick up a bit too.
BUT... temperatures return to average for a couple days with highs near 5 degrees today and Thursday.
A series of low pressure systems will track across the north over the next four or five days.
The first of those is bringing snow to northern Alberta today. 2-5 cm is possible in the Fort McMurray region with 10 cm possible near Fort Chipewyan.
There's a SLIGHT risk of some pockets of precip near Edmonton this afternoon. Those could be wet flurries or rain/snow mix.
No significant precip is expected for the area though.
Two warm days and then a blast of cooler air Saturday. Temperatures rebound Sunday before sliding again Mon/Tue.
Sat/Mon/Tue all look like they'll have highs in the -2 to -5 range.
So enjoy the warmer weather and the melting today. But don't get TOO used to it.
Cooler air is set to return by the weekend.
