Temperatures in Okotoks and the surrounding foothills are set to climb well above seasonal normal this week after a snowy Thanksgiving weekend.
Environment Canada forecasts a high of 15°C on Wednesday and up to 18°C on Friday. The upcoming weekend will see a high of 17°C on Saturday and 15°C on Sunday — significantly warmer than the Thanksgiving period, when daytime highs barely topped the freezing mark and snow fell across the region.
Clear skies are expected throughout the week, though overnight lows will drop below freezing for several days. The normal high for this time of year in Okotoks is 11°C, according to Environment Canada.
The contrast is stark: Thanksgiving weekend brought the season's first snowfall to the foothills, while the coming days promise mild, clear conditions — typical of the region's chinook weather pattern that can swing temperatures dramatically within days.
