CALGARY Our forecasts through this week are more for checking changes (and inevitable increases) to the AlbertaFireBans data than our actual conditional adjustments. It s a boring week! The no news is good news adage will apply in full, here. Today, we apply a minor exception to the rule, as cool wind preceding the boring high pressure ridge aloft brings in a northern billow and may even trigger flurries across the foothills and into the Calgary area, which will serve only to accumulate a higher frowns per capita rate in our city. But, that s just the onset of our high pressure area. The four days thereafter will push in sunshine and keep our heat budget well above seasonal by Wednesday. Break out the shades! Levity aside, however, much of the province is still desperate for precipitation.
