A look at Tuesday’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

It’s 0 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 14 km/h winds out of the north northwest.

Your meteorological Nostradamus is here once again to read the leaves and bones — by which I mean the Environment Canada weather report — and accurately predict — by which I mean relay — the day’s forecast!

As you were all previously warned by Monday’s prognosticating, Tuesday will bring with it a 60 per cent chance of showers throughout the afternoon, with winds gusting up to 50 km/h. Overnight that chance of rain will become a chance of flurries which will turn into light snowfall, with winds staying steady at 50 km/h and a wind chill of -8. Although the winds will continue to bluster into Wednesday at 40 km/h, the rest of the week should be dry and sunny.

So hold on to your hats, your umbrellas, and your butts, because it’s going to be a windy and rainy ride today.
