Calgary's 5-day forecast; storm potential entering weekend
We can nearly reload yesterday's forecast for today. Convective inhibition will present for Calgary Thursday, meaning we have a nonzero chance of storms, but run only a slight risk of active weather this afternoon. If a storm does develop, hail and wind remain the primary concerns.
Tomorrow is looking a bit more active, now. A shortwave crosses the Rockies, and pushes storms out. These would be a fair bit more widespread, and Calgary could find itself somewhere along the convective line. Severe storm watches and warnings will likely manifest from this.
The weekend is in a pressure-neutral state, where no activity for better or worse develops, with showers beginning Monday. Our upper air is tilting the back-end of a ridge onto us, which will drive north wind and cooler temperatures, temporarily; on the other side of the Monday-Tuesday combo, the longer-range projection is for another round of warmth.
