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.

Watching the drama unfold around the referendum discussion is, to me, just so incredibly silly.
I cannot believe we are at a point where we are seriously entertaining theatrics about whether citizens should even be allowed to pose a question, instead of having mature discussions about what the question actually means, the potential consequences, the legal realities, the risks, the benefits, and the broader future of the province and country.
That is what democracy is supposed to be.
Not fear of discussion.
Not attempts to shut conversations down before they even happen.
Not treating citizens like they are incapable of hearing ideas, thinking critically, and making decisions for themselves.
A referendum question is not automatic implementation. It is a mechanism to gauge public support and force public discussion on an issue of significant importance. Democracies should not be afraid of asking questions. If anything, they should be afraid of preventing them.

“On Thursday we will find out what creative workaround they have in mind.
How do Albertans get to a vote on Alberta independence with a question that will not land the Alberta government in a legal jackpot with the courts?
Do you want to remain in Canada or …?
On Thursday Smith will fill in the blanks.
If you’re an Alberta independence activist, if you go on social media often and fly the Alberta flag and proclaim you’ve had it with Canada, you will likely not be happy with what you see.”
