CALGARY -- Short articles are indicative of "boring" weather! Get out, enjoy, and revel in wearing the lighter parka for a while.
We're going to fall under a continuing pattern of warmth through the next few days, punctuated by a Pacific offshore low that will drive another significant wave of snow into the Pacific ranges and deliver warm, dry air.
The worst of it? A gentle trough cutting in, offering flurries along Alberta's southern border for tomorrow. Once that's through, we can expect high and dry conditions with our energy budget showing a surplus for the next few days.
We'll watch for a few Pacific lows to batter British Columbia, but they never seem to push over the edge into Alberta. Forecast models are showing a few faint traces of chinook potential Friday, but I'm reserving judgment until we see that forecast fine-tune a little more.
Here's the five-day forecast:
