Frigid Morning Temperatures Give Way to Balmy Afternoon Warmth

Residents in various regions are bracing for a cold Saturday morning, with temperatures expected to feel as low as -22°C due to wind chill factors. However, a significant warm-up is anticipated later in the day, making the afternoon feel considerably milder, with wind chill easing to -6°C.

Those venturing outdoors on Saturday, March 16, 2024, should dress in warm layers to combat the early chill. Once the sun rises higher in the sky, temperatures will rise, transitioning into a more pleasant afternoon. This shift marks the beginning of a four-day warming trend across the area, with Sunday and Monday expected to be the warmest days in this stretch.

As the week progresses, however, the weather will take a turn. By Wednesday, March 20, 2024, temperatures are forecasted to drop again, with a daytime high of -7°C and the possibility of some snowfall. The cold will persist into Thursday, with temperatures expected to fall into the minus teens once more.

Local photographer Libby Goodliff captured the wintry landscape in North Glenmore Park, illustrating the stark contrast between the frigid mornings and the warmer afternoons.

Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and dress appropriately as temperatures fluctuate throughout the week. The upcoming warm stretch provides a brief respite from the winter chill, but the expected drop in temperatures serves as a reminder that winter is not yet over.
