CALGARY -- Wind aloft with a westerly tilt will drive in temperatures well above seasonal, and we stay that way!
Let's start with a look four days (96 hours) out. I've circled a few areas on this upper chart.
First, the orange circle in the bottom left. Those are low-pressure areas that re-formed a little further out in the Pacific, but were in that green circle previously. All-in-all, this helps wind aloft cross that yellow area with a westerly or southwesterly tilt, which brings in warm, dry air for a few days. After a morning with wind chills in the negative double digits, we bounce back, and we stay bounced back!
The exceptionally long-range forecast (which requires one to be cautious with confidence) continues to show lamb-like activity, with little to no signs a lion is on the way. As with all spring seasons, there is always room for another snow event…

I may have gone overboard on photos today, due to the shorter article. Ah, well!
Emily was out in Canmore and sent this one over:
Natasha got a great shot of the mountains, too:
Warren, our final shot, also took in some of those beautiful cloud-stacks, called lenticular clouds!
Amy wasn't just spotting contrails, but the return of geese!
…And lastly, Tony brings us another fantastic shot of downtown.
