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.

Public Hearing on Proposed Repeal of Rezoning in Calgary. I got a letter from the City explaining the upcoming Public Hearing, and telling me how I can participate. The options for Council are to repeal the existing bylaw in full, or amend it to make it slightly less higher density (pic attached for comparison). I used the submission form to object, and then sent a longer direct email to all the councillors. (I have to admit that I asked Grok for help on this, staying polite and respectful but adamant that I want a repeal.)
"I am writing as a concerned resident of Calgary to respectfully urge City Council to fully repeal the citywide rezoning changes approved in May 2024 (effective August 2024) and restore the low-density residential zones (such as R-C1 and R-C2) that existed prior to those amendments. I strongly support the proposed bylaw that would bring back those pre-2024 zones citywide, while appropriately grandfathering properties that have already received development, building, or subdivision ...
I don’t know about many others on here but I REALLY object to important announcements from our government(s) being made on social media, notably FB and X.
Yesterday Farkas put out a “tweet” on X and now this (post by @SMRavens ) from DS via Fakebook. I get it, propaganda media won’t carry anything conservative without bastardizing it but not everyone is tied at the hip to social media. I subscribe to several independent sites but other than WS, they are more broad in their topics and don’t report anything local until 2 days later. A day late and a dollar short as the old saying goes.
What’s the answer? I don’t know. I wish we had a news site (TV/Radio) that had a broadcast licence for Alberta outside the controls of the left-controlled CRTC.
Here endeth today’s rant/musing. 🥴 (at least for now…)
