Edmonton weather for Jan. 9: Sunny, mild [Video]

A slight cool down across the province today as most areas will be about four or five degrees cooler than Wednesday.

For the Edmonton region, that means a high near 0 C this afternoon. So…that’s still well above the average high of -8 C.

An area of low pressure develops in northwestern Alberta, bringing some snow to the High Level and Peace River regions. Closer to Grande Prairie, it’s a chance of rain or freezing rain (depending on surface temperatures).

That precipitation tracks eastward tonight and most (probably all) will stay north of Edmonton.

That said, there’s a chance we’ll see some spotty pockets of showers or freezing drizzle in the area late tonight and/or early Friday morning.

At this point, it doesn’t look like anything too heavy or widespread.

But…if you have travel plans for early Friday (especially north of Edmonton), check road conditions before heading out tomorrow.
