Another Sunny Day

A high pressure system off the coast today would normally bode well for a sunny and seasonable Wednesday. The Weather Service is saying today's high will be a seasonable 46, but we think that is optimistic. There's a bit of vertical mixing going on, where cold air aloft gets churned up with warm air near the surface, that will likely put a damper on the day's heating. The Weather Channel's high of 42 is looking more accurate.

Tomorrow will probably be a few degrees warmer, a high of 50 is not out of the question, but it is actually going to be kind of a raw day. A cold front will be passing through late in the day. Ahead of the front will be a strong southerly breeze and plenty of clouds. There will also be a slight chance of rain in the afternoon and evening. Cool, dry air will follow the front making for a sunny Friday and Saturday. Highs both days will be lucky to reach 40.

All you snow worshippers shouldn't get your hopes up too high but an Alberta Clipper over the weekend may bring a few snow showers to the city. The best chance of snow, and it's not a great chance, will be during the day on Sunday. Snow or not it should remain cold until Monday.
