A warmer week for Calgary as frigid start to March fades into memory
Four out of five days in this forecast are sunny. Not bad! We'll be below-seasonal for a little while, all the same but it mostly falls under the category of "the seasonal high keeps rising but our temperature keeps staying the same." The seasonal high is 4.2 C for this time of year.
I mean, factoring for the first thirteen days of March, which had an average high of -7.7 C, anything above the bar is in great shape.
This ridge of high pressure is still kicking along, with only one little interrupt; that'd be Wednesday evening, with a cut of northwesterly air driving convective snow. There isn't a lot of precipitable water trapped up there, so Calgary getting a half-centimetre would be setting the bar high.
Lastly, a note about the melt; it's phenomenal. We're doing great! But I will caution: the overnight lows are more than enough to freeze all of that meltwater. Morning walks could get treacherous.
