AFTERNOON UPDATE: No major sahake-ups here. Scattered showers have already begun to fall in parts of the city. Our chance of thundershowers, however minute, remains.
MORNING EDITION: This is the first day of meteorological fall that will actually feel like fall. Between periods of showers, wind gusts in the 30-40 km/h margins, and a good base of cloud, today will be a bit perplexing for those who spent a fair amount of time outdoors in the early afternoon yesterday, when we rose to 29.4 C.
Today will be a noticeable departure.
Ditto for tomorrow, with our high continuing to cool, slightly; the effects of this were noted in yesterday's article; after the cold front struck out with gusts near 50 km/h in Calgary, we fell off hard, and are now riding along the entrance region of a high pressure ridge. Today's gusts will be brisk and northerly. You could probably get away with a winter scarf and nobody would raise an eyebrow.
There remains a slight risk for a late-season thundershower. Discrete thunderstorms are a possibility. Yesterday, some were able to amass themselves to a severe level under a temperature band similar to ours in central Alberta; that is a tall order, but possible in some areas.
This remains a two-day 'blip' in our forecast. By Saturday, we start a rise, and that'll take us around to Monday with mainly sunny conditions and temperatures above seasonal.
