Currently Saturday morning, it’s 4 C at the Edmonton Blatchford station, with 9 km/h winds coming out of the west, southwest.

Oh there’s some weather… it’s raining Oilers SPIRIT! And there’s a few bugs floating around these sporadic sunny days but some of us just have Oilers FEVER!

All this is to say that there will be some sun and cloud, a high of 14 C Saturday in these parts as the Oil come off a second-of-three hammering win against the Kings before Game 4 in LA Sunday.

Forecasters are eyeing a high of 12 C with cloud cover Sunday but hard-bitten fans suffering under the Oilers playoff drought since 2006 look to the skies, hopeful these fiery wins continue.
