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.

“Here are some of the major changes spelled out in Thursday’s bill:
Child access restrictions to sex images in public libraries
The new legislation builds on the province’s child access restrictions on material containing graphic depictions of sexual acts in school libraries and it extends similar limits on who can obtain such material via public libraries.
Specifically, the bill targets material with explicit visual depictions of sexual acts, while written work designed to be a resource for educational or health purposes will not be affected.
Regulations outlining the exact nature of the changes will be determined in the coming months, but the province says no material will be removed from library collections.
The act calls for physical separation of the target materials, such as behind a counter, with parental approval needed for children aged 15 and under to borrow such material.

“Alberta’s independence campaign has now surpassed 177,000 signatures, marking a major milestone as Alberta moves toward the October 19 independence vote.
This video breaks down why signature collection must continue through the end of April, why every additional signature matters, and what Bill 23 actually does. It also explains why Bill 23 does not stop or undermine the referendum process, and why it may strengthen confidence in the signature counting process.
The video also responds to claims about investment uncertainty, pointing instead to growing concern from Alberta energy leaders who say Ottawa’s policies are hurting development, investment, and Alberta’s long-term prosperity.
