After a frigid start to the day, skies will clear, and temperatures will rocket up from -20 at the time of writing, to -7 at noon on our way to a high of 3 degrees, signalling the start of a much-needed warm-up. The trend continues through the weekend, with sunshine and milder conditions replacing the recent deep freeze. While a brief return of clouds and possible precipitation is expected early next week, the overall pattern suggests winter is loosening its grip. For now, Edmontonians can finally swap the parkas for lighter jackets—at least for a few days.
