A look at Wednesday’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.
It’s -11 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 9 km/h winds from the south, southwest and a wind chill of -16.
While a true snowfall is still on the way this coming weekend, we’ve been gifted with a 30 per cent chance of flurries throughout the day! That said, those flurries will bring in some intense wind chills and fog patches, with 15 km/h winds, a high of -5 C, and a wind chill of -16, climbing to -9 in the afternoon. Thursday will have very similar weather, without the flurries, with a high of -5 C and a wind chill near -13. Make sure to wear your toques and gloves, because even a few minutes in that cold can be devastating!
