Hot and sunny weather expected in Calgary for the rest of May
The rest of May is going to feel more like July as we kick off a stretch of sunshine and temperatures in the mid to high 20's for the rest of the month.
In fact, by Thursday, Calgary could experience its first 30 C high of the year!
A ridge of high pressure is starting to move in and will really pump in a lot of warm air on Wednesday, with winds out of the south at 20 – 40 km/h.
By Thursday, two significant factors could set the stage for our next possible thunderstorm event.

The first is all the sunshine that's warmed up our ground over the last few days, causing air to rise and creating low pressure at the surface.
The second is an expected shift in our jet stream, which will cause the high-pressure ridge to move east.
These two events working in tandem have the potential to create enough instability for thunderstorms to develop in southern Alberta on Thursday evening.
Models so far suggest areas in southeast Alberta are the most likely to get storm development, but Calgary could see some action as well.
It will be short lived though, as another mini ridge of high pressure starts to move back in on Friday, which will stabilize the atmosphere once again.
When it comes to wet weather, some of the long-range models are in agreement that the start of June will be cool and rainy which will be a nice reprieve after this stretch of heat.

For those planning to be outside over the next couple of days, keep in mind the UV Index is at an eight for Tuesday, which is very high.
Sun burn can happen very quickly to unprotected skin. Make sure to have the sunscreen handy, along with a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water!

Saskatchewan brewers will soon benefit from a new incentive focused on growing production
WATCH: Local beer makers may soon be raising a glass thanks to a new provincial incentive. Angela Stewart reports. Changes are coming for Saskatchewan's brewing industry, as the province has announced a new incentive to help small and medium-sized producers of beer increase their output levels. The changes come in the form of reduced markup rates – intended to encourage Saskatchewan-based breweries to increase the number of beverages they produce daily. 'That's a good thing for small local breweries of all sorts but especially local breweries,' President CEO of Rebellion Brewing Mark Heise told CTV News. 'Small businesses are suffering across Canada right now for a variety of reasons whether it's tariffs or inflation. It gives us some opportunity to grow and not have to face additional steep taxes.' The new rules were rolled out on May 29 by the Government of Saskatchewan. However, some Regina breweries say it's a move that may not make much of a difference. 'Increasing it from 400,000 hectoliters, 500,000 hectoliters is a major jump. Obviously, that's a huge number, but those are capacities that most smaller breweries aren't going to be running at,' explained Hayden McPherson, who serves as the marketing coordinator for District Brewing Company. McPherson reiterated that many breweries in the Queen City simply aren't at the stage of production to take advantage of the changed rules. 'Places like obviously your Great Western and things like that are going to be a lot closer to that mark so it's going to help them out more get them to produce some more but your local brewers aren't going to see to much of an effect off of this one,' he said. 'We do about 5,000 hectolitres … that's equivalent to about a million pints of beer in a year,' he added. The markup is only applied to products sold in the province and distributed through the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) and third-party warehouses. 'How a given brewery is affected by these changes depends on their current and future production levels,' the provincial Crown outlined in a statement to CTV News. 'It also depends on whether their products are subject to markup, which is applied by SLGA to products sold in the province and distributed through SLGA's warehouse or through third-party warehouse.' The markup changes officially take effect July 1.
