Warm, dry conditions in Calgary for much of this week

Calgary weather, Oct. 18

CALGARY -

A cold wave of air passing through overnight didn't kick the wind up much, but it certainly dipped our thermometers.

That'll be the case for us today, as wind remains predominantly northerly. This will leave us beneath our seasonal value (which would be 11 C) for the day. Gusts, at times, might strike into the 30 to 40 km/h range.

Then, Tuesday brings a warmer return.

A large area of high pressure is developing as the week wears on. Its presence will dominate conditions right into the weekend, with temperatures near or above seasonal throughout.

This also means that dry conditions will continue. If there's anything left to do for home prep heading into winter, this is the week.

A shortwave will deliver some cloud Friday as the day progresses, but that, too, shall pass, yielding little in the way of precipitation potential, let alone actual showers. As always, this will fine-tune further down the line, but early expectations are seasonally mild.

Do these exercises for core strength if you can't stomach doing planks

Planks are one of the most effective exercises for strengthening your midsection, as they target all of your major core muscles: the transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, external obliques and internal obliques. Yet despite the popularity of various 10-minute plank challenges, planking is actually one of the most dreaded core exercises, according to many fitness experts.
