Tonight
Partly to mostly clear skies will stick around tonight as the mercury falls back to around -19.
Wednesday
Winds will be pretty light tomorrow morning, so despite being in the low minus teens, it’ll only feel like the mid -20s with wind chill to start the day.
Clouds will build back in early on with light snow moving in midday and sticking around through the afternoon and evening as a low pressure system slides through.

Temperatures should climb back up into minus single digits by noon with an afternoon high around -7 once again with wind chills in the minus teens during the day.
Thursday-Friday
High pressure will pass by north of our area on Thursday, clearing skies out by morning and bringing us back into some sunshine after a cool start with an afternoon high in mid-minus single digits.
A big warm up is in store on Friday as a kick of mild air ahead of a low pressure system pushing into northern Alberta and Saskatchewan bumps us up above freezing for a high under a mix of sun and cloud.
Weekend Outlook
That low pressure system looks to swing through on Saturday along with a cold front that’ll bring in a good chance of some snow that could accumulate late Saturday into early Sunday before some clearing.
Temperatures should sit around or just below freezing ahead of that front to start the weekend before falling right back into the minus teens early Sunday and only warming into minus single digits later on.
