Another mild day in Calgary, then things improve…again!
If you're a regular reader, first off, thank you! Secondly, you might recognize that headline from yesterday's article. That's a by-product of our current conditions. Yesterday's gentle sprinklings have moved along with our upper low, and thus we have only two effects remaining from its passage; wind, and cloud.
Today's wind totals will remain largely stabilized in the 20 km/h range, and today's cloud cover is mixed; we'll still see sunshine. However, these components will keep us from seasonal temperatures once again.
After another brisk start tomorrow, a ridge of high pressure will work through and send us toward the mid-twenties into the Labour Day weekend. The ridge begins to fade Monday, but then experiences a renaissance from the trailing high pressure ridge – that is to say, the longer-range outlook is forecasting highs in the mid-twenties by this time next week.
Here's hoping, for those of you who don't want summer to end!
As a small reminder: Autumn's astronomical start is on the equinox, which is Sept. 22 (equi = equal, nox = night). Autumn's meteorological start begins with the flip of the calendar into September
