A warm weekend ahead in Calgary, but cooler for Valentine's Day
We're starting with just a slight dip into the negatives; lots of room to improve upon that, though!
Gusts hit at least 40 km/h – some models are staunchly predicting gusts a good deal higher than that, and I'm steadfast that we'll peak somewhere from the high 60s to low 70s.
Saturday and Sunday will be a little repeat of Thursday and Friday; we'll ride the Thursday/Saturday waves with light wind and fair weather, then factor wind for the Friday/Sunday cycle. Sunday's gusts won't move the meter quite as well as today's.
And then… the dip! Starting Tuesday, we have a cooler spell working through, as the westerlies hit a cutoff. The trend through Valentine's Day will continue for a while. Our seasonal normal value wanders between 0 and -1 C, and we don't wander far from it.
