KEY MESSAGES

- Seasonable temperatures and dry conditions will prevail through the weekend. Breezy winds are expected ahead a warm front Friday over the eastern zones.

- Look for warmer temperatures early next week with highs into the 70s and 80s Monday, 70s Tuesday.

DISCUSSION

Synoptic Setup:

Zonal flow in place over the region will remain in place through Friday. An upper disturbance will move in Friday night as a surface low moves east through the area. Rising heights ahead of this low will allow for warming temperatures Friday and Saturday. Clouds departing early Friday should allow the sun Friday afternoon to warm things up. Temps should be about 5 to 15 degrees warmer than today with highs from the mid 60s northeast to the upper 70s southwest. With a warm front moving east through the area, winds will switch from the SE to the West and decrease.

On Saturday, the upper flow turns NW with a weak (1023mb) surface high dropping SE across the area. This will allow for sunshine and a lighter wind, but slightly cooler than Friday.

The surface high then moves to our east with a surface low developing over southern Alberta Sunday night. The pressure gradient will allow for increased S and SE winds with them peaking Sunday night.

Another warm front moves east through the area Monday and winds once again turn West. With abundant sunshine, temps should reach the 70s and 80s. This should be the warmest day of the forecast period.

About Tuesday, a trough or cool front will be moving through. Look for highs to be a little cooler with temps reaching the 70s.
