Winter's retreat: Calgary forecast to sit in the TEENS this weekend

After enduring some bitter cold and snow this month, Calgary is set to see a major warm-up as temperatures surge into the teens this upcoming weekend.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the only day this week below zero is today, January 22, with a daytime high of -7°C, with a warmer overnight low of -6°C.

The rest of the workweek is smooth sailing, with Tuesday reaching 6°C and overnight lows not even dipping below zero starting Wednesday night. What a total turnaround from temperatures we were seeing across the province just last weekend, phew!

The weekend is shaping up to be a wild one as we creep into the final days of January, with both Saturday and Sunday forecast to reach a balmy high of 15°C.
