HUMID. Very Humid.

Relative humidity levels rose to 83 percent in Calgary Monday afternoon, which is unusually high for that time of day. Good thing it was cool. It felt sticky, rather than muggy. High humidity returns Tuesday, but the air should be drier by Wednesday. With the high humidity, a partially clearing overnight sky, a light wind, and residual moisture from the Sunday and Monday rain, all the ingredients are there for the development of fog early Tuesday morning. Should the fog develop, it will burn off later in the morning to reveal a mainly cloudy sky. Temperatures will be close to, or slightly above average for the rest of the week.
