Cool tonight, but Calgary warms up for the start of June
AFTERNOON UPDATE: Scattered showers are indeed coming down over the city, though they leave a lot to be desired if you were hoping to give the lawn a pick-me-up:
You don't even see rain over the airport on it! How's that for scattered showers? Most spots have received less than a single millimetre from this system, and the rest of the week is even drier. Cloud builds late Friday into Saturday, but at this time, it doesn't move that precipitation needle at all.
What we're left with is a lovely start to meteorological summer, and farmers left wanting.
MORNING EDITION:
It will be a relatively banal week for Calgary and the surrounding area.
Monday feels like the exception to the rule, by the sheer merit of it being cloudy! And not just cloudy – today, we have a chance for showers. At most, we will see three millimetres scattered through our daylight hours. The wind today has a bite to it, being northerly; that will continue for much of the day.
Overnight, frost advisories may pop up, though they're more likely in central Alberta.
Beyond, our forecast conditions are not apt to adjust much. The trend will point to warmer weather, eventually, but along the way we don't change the conditions much, if at all. Expect plenty of sun to carry us there. The start of meteorological summer will be a sunny one.
