Calgary's 5-day forecast: warmer beyond today
Entering the 6 a.m. hour, the wave of precipitation is just working by now, having missed the likes of Airdrie in its southward descent. It’s grazing Calgary, too. So, a gentle skiff… manageable.
Perhaps less manageable, to some, might be the expected dose of wind compounded against the current temperatures; with our low dipped into the negatives, there's a little bite to the wind chill. Yes, it’s only -10, but our current conditions include gusts near 50 km/h.
It's all short-lived, of course; we'll drop off overnight, briefly, but still find the means to bounce back above seasonal throughout the five day forecast, thanks to a potent mix of Pacific air baked into an upper ridge and westerly wind gusts.
