Calgary’s weekend weather forecast includes sun and double-digit highs

Friday’s high of 2 C will be one of the coldest temperatures for the next week – including overnight lows.

Strong westerly flow will dominate over southern Alberta starting Friday, enhancing melting and producing daytime highs between 8 to 12 C.

Overnight lows will sit above 0 C for most of the next week, so there will be less freezing of pooled water in the early mornings.
