Calgary's 5-day forecast; more sun, warmth
AFTERNOON UPDATE: No major shake-ups, here. Wednesday is indeed going to be brisk, with gusts around 25 kilometres per hour expected. After that, it's sunny straits all over again, carrying on to next week.
MORNING EDITION: An Omega Block – and its effects stick around through the weekend; the high-pressure ridge at its centre is bringing us a good glut of warm weather for the next week.

There are signs that this will break apart in the middle of next week, but that doesn't take away from westerly wind continuing to provide heat for us beyond the five-day outlook.
There is a surface Arctic high passing well to the east of us tomorrow; this will be the culprit for some additional cloud. As it closes in, the expected amount of cloud from this cool burst has lessened. Winnipeg is expecting a high near 5 C Thursday from this; we'll just get a touch of chillier wind from the east, instead.
