Kevin Stanfield's forecast: Calgary’s cool one – chinook coming Thursday

Turning the tap off briefly on warmer temperatures Come Sunday, we turn the tap off briefly on milder days, with a couple of cooler ones at the tail end of our five-day forecast.

This is the one – the pressure-sensitive will surely enjoy a walk with the pups in the sunshine, even as the high stays well below what we had yesterday (4.4 C).

As a ridge of high pressure pushes up, the north wind slaps our temperature down. Mid-level cool air will press toward the surface, but the subsidence layer (sinking air) will keep our sky clear, while a thick layer of fog works its way across the province to our north.

After that… whoa! Gusts aren't expected to be drastic at this time, but Thursday, Friday and Saturday all show the common symptoms of a chinook – moisture in the B.C. interior and a persistent westerly wind crossing the Rockies will generate warmer temperatures. Sustained wind speeds look to stick close to 20 km/h, with gusts approaching 45 km/h.
