STAMPEDE WARM-UP

It was nice to see a shower-free day in Alta., with temps. reaching the low 30’s in s.e. parts of the prov. Tomorrow we’ll continue our warm-up, with Calgary temps. reaching the high 20’s. Just keep an eye to the w. sky, li’l doggies, as a few t-showers developing over the foothills in the aft. could drift over w. parts of the city. Temps. could peak above 30 degrees early in the week for cow-punchers down on the grounds, before more unstable weather brings in slightly cooler conditions for mid-week. Yahoo!
