Friday Night
Some clouds will linger Friday evening before clearing out overnight as temperatures slide back a few degrees below freezing.
Saturday
-6 is around what it’ll feel like Saturday morning with wind chill, but a system sliding through the north and upper ridge building in will help warm us up into the low teens by afternoon.
Some sunshine is expected to begin the day with clouds rolling in later on as west-northwesterly winds kick up to 30 km/h with gusts as high as 50 km/h or so possible during the day.
A cold front will sweep through during the evening with northwesterly wind gusts as high as 60 km/h into the overnight period.
Sunday
Cool northwesterly winds will stay strong on Sunday, up to 40 km/h with gusts in excess of 60 km/h, putting a damper on our daytime high, which will limp into mid single digits in the afternoon.
Cloudy skies will stick around as well with a chance of flurries right through the day.
Work Week Outlook
Cloudy skies will end October and kickoff November next week with daytime highs around freezing Monday, bumping up a few degrees above zero for Halloween on Tuesday before diving back below zero to start the new month.
Overnight lows could dive down into negative double digits by the end of the week with wind chill values possibly making it feel as cold as -20 by Friday morning.
A system is expected to swing through on Halloween and into Nov. 1 that is likely to bring some snow for trick or treaters, so be sure to make your costumes winter ready and pull out the warm woollies this weekend!
