Well into the positives for Calgary today

Share

We're entering a wave of high pressure, which builds up with some minor instability tomorrow. What we can expect today are gusts aimed at the 40-50 km/h range from the west. At the time of this writing, the temperature is already 4 C and gusts are in the 30s.

Tomorrow, this weak trough will swing by. While precipitation is quite likely, it'll be moving primarily to the east of us. The biggest local effect is a high near the freezing mark, which still qualifies us for an above-normal day.

After this, the real high pressure moves in, and our temps rocket upward for the weekend under ongoing benign conditions. I shouldn't be exclusionary beyond the weekend – this coming temperature trend of 'above seasonal' is liable to stick around for a while.

If I've written it out once, I've done so a hundred times: a short weather article is a good weather article!

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.
