A new forecast revealed that Alberta's weather is expected to warm up.

Frigid arctic air is moving out and spring-like weather is moving in with temperatures above freezing and even over 10 C in some places!

According to The Weather Network, a warm-up is on the way after a bout of extreme cold blanketed the Prairies with wind chills of -50 C.

Polar air is still lingering across Alberta and extreme cold warnings are in effect through Wednesday, February 19.

But then the extreme cold will finally start to ease.

That's because a shifting pattern off the coast of B.C. will allow Pacific air to flow into the Prairies, causing "a rapid change" in temperatures by the end of this week.

Warmer air is expected in Alberta starting on Thursday, February 20.

Southern parts of the province could get temperatures in the double digits this weekend!

According to The Weather Network, there will also be mild winter weather — a few flurries, a bit of rain and some mixing — and "early spring-like temperatures" that are above freezing.

Calgary's weather forecast calls for 0 C on Thursday, 3 C on Friday, 3 C on Saturday, and 4 C on Sunday.

Edmonton will be 3 C on Thursday, 5 C on Friday, 5 C on Saturday, and 7 C on Sunday.

Jasper will be 3 C on Thursday, 5 C on Friday, 5 C on Saturday, and 6 C on Sunday.

Temperatures in Medicine Hat will be -4 C on Thursday, 3 C on Friday, 6 C on Saturday, and 10 C on Sunday.

Lethbridge will be 3 C on Thursday, 5 C on Friday, 10 C on Saturday, and 11 C on Sunday!

If you're looking ahead to the end of winter, Alberta's spring forecast calls for warm and wet weather in April and May with warmer-than-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation.
