Above-normal highs continuing through the weekend

If Calgary's five-day forecast was a rollercoaster, we would be at the part of the ride where you’re climbing up the tall ramp before the big drop. A ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere has started to settle over Alberta and will remain in place for the rest of the week. On Thursday, we will warm up to a high of 12 C in the afternoon – a degree above normal for this time of year – but clouds will start to thicken up around 4 p.m. Winds will also be fairly breezy toda
