The high of 1 C Environment Canada forecasts for Tuesday in St. Albert seems like a long way away.
After wind chill values in the -31 C range Wednesday night, the mercury is expected to climb to just -18 C and hold steady for most of the day. The wind chill is expected to make it feel more like -26 C with a 30 per cent chance of flurries in the morning.
A clear evening will bring a warning of frostbite with a -32 C wind chill overnight. Friday’s high is expected to be -21 C, a temperature that will persist through the overnight as the cold system begins to release its grip on the region.
Kinder temperatures on the weekend are expected to lead to unseasonably warm conditions to start next week.
