Calgary in fair form this week; flurry risk overnight

This one screams "chinook." The B.C. interior is coping with a number of snowfall warnings, our upper air pattern is largely westerly.

Expect gusts to stick near yesterday's, though – that's to say, 33 kilometres per hour. Yesterday offers a good example day to break the mold – we got to 9.3 C! You don't always need massive gusts to generate heat. Sometimes, a little thermal advection goes a long way. That said, I’m in a position to not be too disappointed if we crack above the call of 5 C.

The precipitation to the west will press across the foothills and down through southern Alberta early Wednesday – a couple of models have it trying to make a move late Tuesday evening.  The high point places this between one and two centimetres locally.

Then, it's done or mostly done before the midweek morning commute.

Either way, Thursday to Saturday is yet another warm spell in the wake of a massive ridge of high pressure. Enjoy it while it lasts – Sunday and beyond, we're into a hefty dip.
