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.

Justice Shaina Leonard - appointed in 2020 by then federal Liberal Justice Minister David Lametti - quashed the entirety of the Stay Free Alberta citizen initiative petition seeking a referendum on Alberta independence.
But the ruling doesn't just affect the separation referendum - it is a dramatic, troubling, and frankly ridiculous expansion of the duty for governments to consult with indigenous people, that will have massive ramifications not just for any future citizens' initiative petition on any issue, but also for every single piece of legislation that any government anywhere in Canada proposes in the future.
It is really, really hard to overstate the massive implications this ruling could have, if it's allowed to stand.
In short, Justice Leonard found that Elections Alberta’s Chief ...
Premier Smith had better do more than filing a multi-year stalling appeal.
She is able to bypass the judge and put the SFA question on the referendum vote in October.
If UCP member Albertan’s are forced to decide between the Independence Movement and Premier Smith, she will loose. Signing an unnecessary tax adding fake MOU agreement update with Carney tommorow will also add to her demise.
She should be stalling this unnecessary, detrimental, ideological tax burden Carney Industrial Taxation scheme.
“The referendum question around separation, filed with Elections Alberta in December 2025, asks, “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?”
Premier Smith said at a press conference later in the day that her government would be appealing the court’s ruling.
