Warm west wind in Calgary ahead of Halloween temperature drop?

We'll take a dose of yesterday, drop it off by a margin for the wind (in most spots, but not all – looking your way, Pincher Creek) and follow up with another series of warm temperatures to close out the majority of the month. The majority – but not all.

The cutoff on this west wind arrives Sunday, which will contribute to our temperatures dropping back below seasonal in a hurry – so much so that the snow I've been prompting as a possibility for Halloween evening is starting to appear across the scopes on a few forecast models.

At the moment, these models are keeping the majority of that snow in a lighter phase – only a skiff. Tuesday is a different story, however, with a possibility of five to 10 centimetres on the way.

To fully Tarantino this wee article, those local gusts will likely top the 60 kilometre per hour marker yet again today, if barely – we hit 61 km/h yesterday as the closer.
