Milder midweek in Calgary with potential snow showers
It's a bit strange to look at the seven-day forecast and see Dec. 18 on there. Christmas isn't far off! If you're one of those shoppers who enjoys a palatable temperature whilst out and about, Tuesday or Thursday are likely the days for you.
We're walking through another set of sagging conditions, and high temps in the negative double-digits are just around the corner all over again.
The cooler air that encompasses the day may contain an impulse that nabs us with a spot of flurries but, based on how effective that turned out to be this weekend, I won't hold my breath.
An actual system is moving through later Tuesday – we could see snow showers trigger late Tuesday through Wednesday, with up to five centimetres locally; hence skipping Wednesday as a Christmas shopping day, if the roads have anything to say about it.
Thursday into Friday, our temperatures begin to slip again – our short-range forecast is well above the listed expectations for our long-range outlook. It could very well be a chilly Christmas.
