Calgary's 5-day forecast brings more snow this weekend

AFTERNOON UPDATE: Some sites in Calgary - especially in the south end of the city - are coming back with totals cresting over twenty centimetres of snow. However, down Okotoks-way, a site reported just under half a foot; this is to say that the variability is, quite literally, street-to-street in Calgary. We've consistently had gusts exceeding 45 kilometres per hour every hour since five o'clock this morning, with no sign that the trend will let up just yet. We'll hold out with gusts until at least seven o'clock this evening. 

Temperature-wise, the trend after Friday is down. A lot. Highs don't crest back above freezing on any reading I have beyond mid-November. 

 

MORNING EDITION: Well this is going well, I'd say. Parts of Calgary are now under a half foot (15 centimetres) of snow, amidst ongoing snowfall warnings around the province and another few centimetres on the way today.

We likely end the day just above 20 cm total, as a few models now push this beyond the dinner-hour and into the evening. As reported yesterday, the skiers and snowboarders are surely looking forward to this one!

Thursday and Friday are still aligned for reprieve and warm, west wind, but that'll be a short-lived cycle that doesn’t tackle the breadth of our present snowfall ahead of the next event.

Snowfall totals for the weekend are still wide-ranging, but the longer-term forecast out to the midpoint of next week shows consistency among flurries and patterns of snow. This is to say: we're a long way out.
