Warmer weather on the way for Calgary
Aaand scene.
We made it.
I'm not shuttering 'winter weather', per se – flurries press over the Rockies as early as tonight, good for two centimetres locally – but the long-range forecast doesn't have anything to match our weekend highs, or our current temperature: -16 C.
Northern Alberta will get a fresh coat of snow this evening as part of a low that clips into Saskatchewan by this evening; Fort McMurray's under a 10-to-20 cm snowfall warning as a result.
Off of snow and on to melting weather; the frosty morning we're facing now isn't going to stick, and model data shows a significant rise in temperature; by the mid-afternoon, we're pushing to at least 5 C in the wake of southwesterly flow aloft. A good situation to find ourselves in, to be sure!
That warmth won't last, nor will it fade to 'full-on wintry' again in the immediate forecast; highs near (or just above) freezing will carry us through the remainder of the week.
