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.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ABStorm.

I learned a thing today. My home PC was too old to "upgrade" to Windows 11, but I bought a new laptop last year and it came with Windows 11 with all its many "upgrades". One thing that bugged me was the constant urging to save everything to OneDrive (aka the cloud). Luddite that I am, I resisted, and (smugly) thought that when I saved documents or pix that they were being stored locally. Not so fast Kemosabe.
A simple test showed me where they were actually being stored. If you care, here's a very simple test to check:
1. Open any existing document in Word
2. Click on "Insert"
3. Click on "Footer"
4. Choose "Blank" (first and simplest option)
5. On the task ribbon on the top, Click on "Document Info"
6. Choose "File Path"
If your Footer reads something like: C:\Users\roy\Documents\Architect.docx, then it's not being stored in the cloud.
If it starts with something else, like https:\d\ then it IS in the cloud.
You may not care. But if you do, this video will help you to stop ...
