CALGARY -- Yesterday's instability rattling through qualifies as "growing pains" for us.
Our forecast for the next few days is going to sidle back under a high pressure ridge, opening to warm, sunny days through the weekend, with enough westerly wind aloft to spike our highs to the mid-20s!
That's our warming trifecta; high pressure, which breaks into sun, with westerly wind. Push all of that together and give it some staying power, and we see temperatures push within a few degrees of record-breaking territory.
Central Alberta will continue to face some instability for a couple of days; that's especially present along the jet, where temperatures will be rapidly shifting within a 100 km north-to-south span. That'll lead them to showers and thundershowers.
For campers: be aware that overnight lows will still take a dip toward the freezing marker in higher elevations! Otherwise, we're in for some lovely temperatures for a few days.
