Calgary was blanketed by more snow over the weekend, but the forecast suggests a change in the frigid temperatures soon.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s (ECCC) forecast, the chilly daytime highs Calgary has been gripped by will come to an end relatively shortly.
After enduring a daytime high of just -12°C today, tomorrow is looking much warmer with a high of -2°C and sunshine.
Tomorrow will just be a tease, though, with another dip in daytime highs coming for the rest of the workweek, hovering from -9°C to -6°C with overnight lows never breaking above the -10°C mark as well.
Things really start to turn around come the weekend, with a daytime high of -1°C on Saturday. On Sunday, YYC is aiming to break into the positives with a daytime high of 4°C and a mix of sun and clouds.
