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.

Nenshi is under fire for hiring an American political advertisi firmhito produce a campaign video, a move that critics say completely undercuts his party’s message.
The CBC revealed the video was produced by Fight Agency, a New York–based firm created in January 2025 and staffed by senior Democratic strategists. The agency has previously crafted ads for U.S. politicians, including Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, and a lengthy list of U.S. Democrats.
The firm says it helps candidates “ready to fight the toughest battles in politics” and promises “sharp messaging and the next great iconic ad.”
After the Alberta NDP released the video, online criticism surfaced questioning why Nenshi turned to an American firm for political messaging.
“UNBELIEVABLE! Naheed Nenshi just hired an AMERICAN ad agency for his image makeover. Spending OUR Canadian dollars in the US! What happened to ‘ELBOWS UP’ ‘buy Canadian’? Pure hypocrisy!...
