Calgary faces a cold Tuesday, warmer Wednesday
As of this writing in the six o’clock hour Tuesday morning, the wind chill is -28 in Calgary. That’ll never be good, but the positive outlook for it lies in knowing it’s just a day; one lonely outlier of a day, spurned along by that impulse from the supper hour yesterday that brought blustery conditions for a couple of hours out of the north, and held in place by a lack of warming conditions for today.
Another wave of light snow will encompass a good portion of the day; another couple of centimetres will play along with it, too.
The overnight low temperature dips slightly, but then charges back in the other direction – Wednesday, we warm considerably, and the expectation now is for a positive temp! Not a big one, but something.
From there, it’s a gradual descent. We have a wave to ride. Cooler temperatures will prevail once again come the start of the next work week.
