Mainly sunny in Calgary but staying cool
While that cold front lies beyond us, the continuing effects are palpable. We're still cool, we're still dealing with a touch of wind. On the bright side, that wind has a westerly origin through the day, gusts or not; that warm, dry air will support a stay below normal, which makes it to the mid-teens.
Beyond, our upper air will establish a weak ridge over southern Alberta for a couple of days. This will improve temperatures for Friday and Saturday, but that too won't last, as a significant low from the Bering Sea crosses the Gulf of Alaska (I'm just naming cold places at this point) and lowers over us early next week.
And now, a little, somewhat tongue-and-cheek debrief on the sleet yesterday:
What a day. At 6 a.m., northerly gusts were at 53 km/h, accommodating showers and sleet in the northwest. By 6 p.m., the westerly gusts hit 47 km/h and we were largely sunny. You've got to love living here!
Late yesterday, widespread frost advisories were issued:
Tonight, more are likely to be issued in an area that will encompass the above zones, and include a few more further south. This is the running drawback with clear and dry conditions;
