It’s -6 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 7 km/h winds out of the southeast and a wind chill of -9.

Hump day is a fitting name for this particular Wednesday, as it’s the last hump to vault before we finally get to enjoy some sunny spring weather.

Wednesday will be a mix of sun and cloud, the sun winning that duel by noon, with 15 km/h winds and a high of 4 C. The clouds will return overnight and bring with them a 30 per cent chance of flurries blown in on 15 km/h winds. Those potential flurries will persist into Thursday with the same 15 km/h winds and a high of -1 C.
