A Chinook is in the forecast



We had a couple of clients who braved the chilly weather and floated the Bow River today. It got all the way up to +6C.

There were even a couple of fly fishers walking and wading near McKinnon Flats. (see photo on left).

However, it seems that a bit of a warming trend might be on the way!

Change Comes Gradually

The extremely slow warming trend continues in the Calgary area. While some parts of southern Alberta enjoyed double digit temperatures Thursday afternoon, the warm air remained aloft over Calgary. That warm air could come to the surface Friday, making a temperature forecast quite difficult. We've posted a high of 6 degrees, but if the sun comes out, and the wind kicks in, drawing the warmer air down to the surface, there is a chance of somewhat warmer weather than forecast.

We will have typical fall weather over the Halloween weekend, with temperatures in the mid to high single digits. There will be some sunshine, some clouds, and no snowstorms. The kids may have to bundle up a bit, as Sunday's high of 7 is likely to happen in the early to mid afternoon, with cooler air pouring in later in the day.

After Halloween, the weather will warm up as chinook wind blows in Monday.
