An abrupt change to the weather is on the way for southern Alberta later today.
After a stretch of above average spring temperatures, a cold front will move through this afternoon and evening reaching the american border tonight. This front will usher in a cooler airmass along with rain and snow.
Precipitation will start as rain before changing to snow. The transition from rain to snow will begin this evening North of the Calgary area, and overnight near Calgary. Regions closer to the Saskatchewan and american borders will see rain for a longer duration before eventually switching to snow on Tuesday. With temperatures hovering just above zero degrees celsius, precipitation type as well as snowfall accumulations will vary greatly.
There remains uncertainty as to how much snowfall will accumulate, though amounts of 5 to 10 cm are possible by Wednesday morning in some locations.
Calm and cooler conditions are forecast on Wednesday, and for the remainder of the week.

Recently we announced For the Future of Alberta, a gathering for a province in peril. Saturday, August 29, at the Legislature Grounds in Edmonton.
Now the NDP has announced a rally in Calgary the same afternoon.
Same day. Same hours. They're calling it "Rally the Vote for Canada," and Naheed Nenshi's face is on the poster.
Look at the two posters side by side and the difference tells you everything. Theirs is a picture of one man asking Albertans to be content. Ours is a picture of Albertans who are done being content.
This is hilarious, but it also gives us a real chance to prove something with the size of the crowd on Saturday.
So here is the only ask in this email:
Come, and don't come alone.
Invite one person. Two if you can. Three if you're feeling ambitious. Your neighbour, your brother-in-law, the guy at the shop who's been complaining about Ottawa for fifteen years and has never once shown up to anything.
Then make a day of it. Come early, grab lunch, bring lawn ...
