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.

Parents also drop off kids and pick up kids to and from school, residents who attend functions in the Community Hall all drive by there. So, they indeed found a prime location. They returned a huge stack of signatures. They also have a competition between them to see who can get the most signatures.
He said he tells people who question that:
we have a democratic right to collect these signatures authorized by Elections Alberta.
this is a good way to petition the government between election years.
it is a non-partisan initiative.
IF we run into someone who is confrontational and ...

“The premier has set a date for her Big Beautiful Ballot.
