Environment Canada is expecting above seasonal weather conditions over the next several days, making it a slightly milder Christmas in the Cochrane region.
Currently, on Dec. 24, a high of 4 C is expected this afternoon for those making their Christmas commutes, with an overnight low of -8 C.
Temperatures are expected to rise to 1 C on Christmas Day with partially cloudy conditions. The wind chill will make it feel chiller though, predicted to be -10 C at about the time the young ones roll out of bed to open their presents.
The same conditions should prevail on Thursday before warming up slightly on Dec. 27 with a temperature of 3 C and partly sunny conditions.
