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.

Last night our team door knocked and canvassed a neighbourhood in Cochrane. We figured out every 7 minutes we got a signature. However, I was amazed at the people who said they would never separate from Canada. One of the most disarming comments came from an older gentleman who would have signed until he saw the video of Marty up North with the woman. He indicated that he wanted no part of a movement who could treat an older woman like that. SIGH. My fear is that mainstream media could pick up on this. I've asked our leader - also Marty's leader - to ask him to remove both videos as he did a follow up one. However, our leader believes he needs to tread carefully as Marty is pulling in an average of 60 signatures a day.
