Warmer Weather Returns

As temperatures rise to the high 20s for the rest of the week, relative humidity values should come down, and it will likely be less sticky in the days ahead. For the next three days, we'll see sunshine with the chance of late day showers and thundershowers. The showers and storms will strike at random, so it's impossible to say exactly where and when they will hit. At this point, it looks like any showers and storms on Thursday will occur prior to the Stampeders' 7:00 kickoff.
