Temperatures will be in the mid-teens across southern Alberta on Wednesday and Thursday. For Remembrance Day, it will be mostly cloudy in Calgary with a southwest wind of 20 to 40 km/h, making it feel slightly cooler than the ambient temperature. Stronger wind gusts were observed in southwestern Alberta early Wednesday, with areas like Pincher Creek reporting gusts close to 80 km/h. This will continue throughout the day, with stronger sustained winds and more intense wind gusts expected along the foothills, extending from the southern border to the northernmost portion of the Rockies. Orange- and yellow-level wind warnings have been issued across portions of central and southern B.C. linked to the third round of persistent rain that is hammering the southwestern coast. Some areas are expecting up to 200 millimetres of total accumulation, which is concerning due to the already saturated ground and the risk of slides. As this latest system tracks toward the Rockies, there will be some rain that transitions to snow in the higher elevations, but most of that moisture will remain on the B.C. side of the mountains. Calgary is expecting daytime highs to remain above seasonal until early next week with overnight lows that are often above freezing and at times warmer than the average daytime high of 4 C. The average low in Calgary this time of year is -8 C.
