Mostly sunny skies will stick around until some high cloud moves in this afternoon as we rise up to a daytime high a few degrees above freezing.

Clouds will continue to push in tonight as we drop back a few degrees below freezing.

Saturday

-8 is what it’ll feel like with wind chill Saturday morning under mostly cloudy skies with a chance of freezing rain to start the day as a warm front pushes in.

Mostly cloudy skies will stick around into the afternoon with some sunny breaks possible later on as we rise up to an impressive daytime high of 9 degrees.

A low pressure system build into Alberta will result in strengthened winds that’ll blow at speeds up to 30 to 40 km/h with gusts upwards of 60 km/h, helping to mix in the milder air.
