40C temperature contrast observed between Alberta/Manitoba

Current temperature contrast between Manitoba & Saskatchewan

The temperature contrast currently being observed in the Prairies Provinces is quite impressive, but it was even more impressive yesterday evening (see bottom picture). The temperature contrast between Winnipeg City and Calgary was 41C!! This is all due to the positioning of the jet, which is allowing warmer air to invade from the south and Arctic air to invade from the north.
