Calgary weather is set for above seasonal temperatures for at least a week as a high-pressure ridge brings highs of 18 C to 24 C, well above the normal 15 C.
Calgary is set for at least a week of above seasonal temperatures as a stable weather pattern settles over the region, with a high of 18 C expected on Friday and warmer days ahead.
A ridge of high pressure has moved in from the Pacific basin and is now sitting over the western Prairies, setting the stage for an extended period of mild conditions.
Warm air will continue to funnel across the central and southern portions of British Columbia and over the Rockies, with very little risk of instability for the next seven to 10 days.
High Pressure Ridge Brings Warmth
Friday's high of 18 C will be one of the cooler highs until next weekend, as the ridge keeps temperatures elevated across the region.
Daytime highs will range from 19 C to 24 C from Sunday to next Friday, with overnight lows between 6 C and 8 C.
The normal range in Calgary this time of year is 15 C for a high and 1 C for a low.
Minimal Precipitation Expected
Some light and scattered precipitation fell overnight Thursday and early Friday in southeastern B.C. and southern Alberta, but accumulations were mostly minimal.
This is likely to occur again on Friday night and early Saturday, but most of the moisture will be squeezed out before that air mass reaches the mountains.
Despite these isolated showers, the overall trend remains dry and stable, with little risk of significant weather disruptions.
Extended Warm Spell Ahead
The stable pattern is expected to persist for at least a week, with the ridge maintaining its hold over the western Prairies.
Warm air will continue to flow across the region, keeping temperatures well above seasonal norms.
Residents can expect consistently mild conditions through next Friday, with no major storms on the horizon.
The above seasonal temperatures mark a departure from the typical early spring weather, which usually sees highs around 15 C and lows near 1 C.
This prolonged warmth is courtesy of the high-pressure ridge, which acts as a barrier to cooler air and storm systems.
The pattern is forecast to remain stable, offering a stretch of pleasant weather for outdoor activities across Calgary and the surrounding areas.
