Fall-like conditions in Calgary, then summer-like for the weekend!
Today's fall-like conditions are perfectly fitting; it's a warm sweater, warm beverage kind of day. It'll be cooler, but just shy of seasonal. The upper trough will shy away before the day's even out, opening us to a clear overnight period in the wake of a high-pressure region ranging in. This shift in our pressure gradient may deliver some gusty conditions for parts of our mainly sunny afternoon.
This may trigger frost advisories overnight, as the high pressure blowing through will serve to clear out our cloud, opening us to a dose of heat loss overnight.
Thereafter, our high pressure is just setting to build over the next few days. Our first weekend of fall bears temperatures reminiscent of "late summer" temps!
