Winter is on its way back to Central Alberta.
An Alberta Clipper is set to hit the region with snow starting tonight and lasting until Friday afternoon.
Temperatures will start to fall Friday afternoon with the possibility of snow starting back up again tomorrow night into Saturday.
Environment Canada meteorologist Stephen Berg says the winds could also pick up on Saturday impacting highway visibility.
Temperatures will continue to drop Saturday night with a low of around minus 24. The high for Sunday is -22. The mercury could dip down to -31 Monday night.
"It looks like four or five days before temperatures return to closer to normal," said Berg. "It looks like maybe by the end of next week you end up getting highs maybe back into the single-digit minuses."
Berg adds the region could see upwards of 8 cm of snow over the next few days.
The normal high for this time of year is around minus 5.
