Earlier this week, weather officials were calling for temperatures to plummet to highs of -14C on Friday and continue throughout the weekend as a cold front moves through the region.
Now, Environment Canada Meteorologist John McIntyre said those temperatures are expected to dip a few degrees cooler, with lows near -20C throughout the weekend and into next week.
"By the weekend, it looks like the air flow is going to be straight out of the arctic," McIntyre said.
The white stuff is coming too, although it won't be nearly as much as our neighbours to the south recently received.
Calgarians woke up Tuesday morning to a massive snow storm, that wreaked havoc on the roads for drivers. In some places of the city, as much as 20 cm fell, while other areas received only two to three centimetres.
McIntyre said Edmontonians can expect to see about five centimetres of snow fall Wednesday night, with isolated flurries continuing on Thursday.
