And there we go with the warm-up! Westerlies to 40 km/h will do that to you.
Our long-range forecast is keeping things reasonably steady for us until we hit late next week, where a minor dip is expected, accompanied by a few flurries (or at least, that's what it looks like right this minute).
Locally and more presently, the potency of these westerlies has made it a toastier morning in Calgary, though the overall daytime high isn't moving the needle much, but hey, it's above seasonal, and above zero. We'll do something similar Saturday, though with a marginally chillier start; this becomes the going trend as we go through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
If anything shifts in our forecast, it'll likely be Tuesday… that one has potential to get warmer than advertised, with a solid chance of setting up a chinook.
