Stagnation near seasonal in Calgary? That's probably just fine
Yesterday, the discussion centred on a blocking pattern, thanks to a cutoff high.
Today, the discussion centres on the blocking pattern, thanks to a cutoff high.
Change is good, sure, but stagnation near seasonal is just as good. The change is coming this weekend. Our high pressure setup doesn't stick around forever, as a large low based in the Gulf of Alaska continues strengthening. The counter-clockwise rotation of this band will drive further south in the Pacific before curling landward, and its passage across the Rockies shouldn't have a massive impact on our temperatures. Steady as she goes!
The only disturbance continues to verify today; a shortwave will drive cloud in throughout the day Friday, bringing showers late. Our overnight low temperatures will be moderate, thanks to that cloud layer, so when I say "showers," I get to mean it, this time. Those will continue for a good portion of Saturday.
