Residents in Red Deer, Alberta, should prepare for a chilly start to the week before a warming trend arrives for the middle of the week.
According to Environment Canada, Monday morning began with a wind chill of -13°C, while temperatures are expected to reach a high of 5°C under sunny skies. As the week progresses, temperatures will climb, reaching 10°C on Tuesday and 13°C on Wednesday.
This mid-week stretch of sunshine and warmth is expected to be warmer than the seasonal average for this time of year, which typically sees highs of 14°C. The mild weather will be short-lived, with clouds moving in by Friday and a 60 percent chance of showers arriving that night. Saturday is expected to bring a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 13°C.
The variable conditions are part of a broader trend across the province this spring. Residents looking to plan outdoor activities can take advantage of the sunny, warmer conditions expected through the middle of the week before the more unsettled weather returns for the weekend.
