Calgary's warm weather hiccups Tuesday
AFTERNOON UPDATE: I have had the blinders on a bit too much chatting about the potential for flurries (still ther, but barely, FYI) Monday evening that I've completely neglected to discuss the wind; with our air temperature expected to drop from a high of 23 C to a low of 3 C, we can anticipate overnight wind gusts out of the northwest clocking at 60 kilometres per hour, with some gust potential striking to the eighty kilometre per hour range.
It's a fine thing to have Wednesday posted in the forecast below; after just a single day beneath a seasonal normal, we're right back at it again with warmth.
MORNING EDITION: Our forecast from yesterday is holding steady. The shift from last night's forecast models to today's is solely in the precipitation type expected late Monday and early Tuesday.
It's a tricky thing, predicting up to five days out; however, the line of models from that distance did a pretty solid job. Our low temperature outlook for Tuesday has improved. Not enough to negate flurries, but enough to challenge their development. There is a trade-off, however; now, we have some potential to see up to 10 millimetres of rain. Not a big deal; most of this is falling overnight from Monday to Tuesday. With temperatures as low as 3 C, there's the risk of fog overnight there.
You might be thinking 'It's Friday, isn't there anything to report for the weekend?'.
Not really. Fair weather dominates the forecast, here.
