Blustery and seasonal in Calgary
A large area of high pressure is nestled in over Lloydminster right now, with potential to stick around for a few days. We don't often talk about cutoff highs, but here we go!
The northern face of this ridge getting sliced off is often a trigger for a sustained blocking high (AKA "this is going to stick around a while."). Conditions align with that principle with little interruption for the next few days, with the exception to the rule coming in the form of an unstable airmass Friday.
