Another warm week in Calgary
Today falls a little off-course from yesterday's helping of 14 (!) degrees. We're in another pressure rise, which will make for wind striking southward. Gusts today may top at 50 km/h, and from those gusts, we may also see a waft of snow circulate in. It bears noting that while our temperature is already just a hair above freezing out there, we don't have a massive drop-off coming. This layer of cloud we're in for through much of the day will trap a limited amount of heat near the surface.
This evening, we dip into a marginal cooling trend. That may mean more flurries – but, as January has done for us a time or two before, they won't last.
Beyond today, conditions calm again. We'll wander around the positive single digits as highs for the remainder, dipping slightly through the midweek as the ridge sags. Still, it'll be sunny! Enjoy.
