Persistent upper ridging over the Prairies will keep a mild Pacific air mass over the region and keep typical winter conditions at bay.

Temperatures will dip to a low near -8 °C tonight under mainly clear skies. Tomorrow will be more or less a repeat of today, but with nothing but sun and light winds.
