Above normal, then well below normal in Calgary's 5-day forecast

There it was and there it goes. Gusts approached 50 kilometres per hour overnight to accompany a light band of snow that fell between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. and that was… well, that was it. The temperature during that flurry event stayed above 1 C, too.

And away we go.

We're in that transition zone again; the one that leads to high pressure. As a result, wind gusts will maintain 40 km/h, at times, and with a northerly component to its direction, we cannot expect our temperature to rise much further today. We'll have variable cloudiness, with a few sunny breaks thrown in the mix.

After that, we hit another high pressure region; expect sunny conditions and fair temperatures for a few days… but the shift begins on Saturday. A significant trough is moving in, and the source of the coming airmass is plenty cold enough to attach the label ‘Arctic outbreak’ – expect plunging temperatures akin to the start of the month.
