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.

NEW - TUCKER CALLS FOR REGIME CHANGE IN CANADA
"by force if necessary......talk about a country that is oppressing its own citizens."
"If anyone needs LIBERATION from a government that hates them, it's Canada"
✝️ WHY IS IT CALLED “GOOD” FRIDAY, WHEN JESUS DIED? 😳
On this day, the sky darkened.
The earth trembled.
The Son of God was nailed to a Cross and died.
And yet… we call it Good Friday.
Why?
What could possibly be “good” about this day?
✝️ 1. BECAUSE EVIL DID NOT WIN, LOVE DID
To human eyes, this was tragedy.
An innocent man condemned
Truth silenced
Justice crushed
But in reality:
👉 This was the greatest victory in history
What looked like defeat was actually:
Sin being destroyed
Satan being overthrown
Death being conquered
The Cross is not the end of Jesus.
👉 It is the end of sin’s dominion.
✝️ 2. BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT TAKEN, IT WAS GIVEN
Jesus was not overpowered.
👉 He chose the Cross.
“No one takes my life from me, I lay it down of my own accord.” (John 10:18)
This changes everything.
👉 This is not murder alone.
👉 This is sacrifice.
Good Friday is “good” because:
👉 God gave Himself for us.
✝️ 3. BECAUSE JUSTICE AND MERCY MET
On the Cross:
God did not ignore sin
God did not destroy sinners
Instead:
👉 He took sin upon Himself.
