Warmer temperatures expected all week
Battlefords residents are enjoying warmer temperatures this week after a polar vortex engulfed much of Canada recently. After a frigid span of two weeks culminating with a minus 40 wind chill on Friday, many residents got quite a shock on Sunday when the mercury rose to minus three.
Environment Canada’s Mike McDonald says warm Pacific air will flow through our area this week bringing pleasant weather all week long.
“Thursday should be the best day of the week,” says McDonald. “Expect the high to be near zero.”
As far as those people who are dreaming of a white Christmas, McDonald says the likelihood of us receiving snow is minimal.
