Edmonton's Warm-Up: Snow Melt & Flurries

0:00It's March 31st. This is Canada News today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Cory with the story. Edmonton's shaking off that long, cool spell, where six out of the past seven days saw highs below zero degrees Celsius way under our usual five to six degree average. Mowder air is rolling in now, pushing us toward one to four degrees from today through Thursday. Earlier this week, we stayed chilly, but Friday through Sunday looks better with highs from four to eight degrees, Saturday hitting the warmest at seven degrees. Next week stays in that three to seven degree sweet spot, steady, but not scorching. Folks are feeling the shift already, as this stall promotes a slow snow melt across the city. The spring runoff should ramp up over the next seven to ten days with daytime temps above freezing and some sun breaking through, clearing most snow. Covered by mid to late next week, except deeper banks and shady spots. Keep an eye on Flurries, though, a 40% chance tonight into Wednesday morning,
