Summery Canada Day Weekend

It’s been a while since it has felt like summer in Calgary. We’ll remedy that this weekend as temps. remain at least at seasonal levels.

There is the chance of scat. showers or t-showers tomorrow aft. (mostly in areas N.W. of the city), and again Canada Day ( most likely in the A.M), but other than that, it will still be a decent weekend for outdoor activities.

The summery weather will continue into next week, with the next chance for showers likely mid-week.
