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.

Well, my Beiseker team started an initiative at the Country Fair yesterday. Our program is called 'Stop N Talk about our future'. We spoke strictly about the situation in Canada. Logan had a poll going asking people if they are happy with the current state of Canada. 51 people said NO and 4 said YES. Some of the NOs said they don't want to separate but did agree that something has got to be done. People were willing to talk after they answered the poll question. I guess people like to be asked their opinion. Even the Forever Canada people looked at the info we had printed out from Stats Canada, OPEC and other reputable sources and were stunned to find out how badly Canada is doing. Our mission was just to get people to decide that they are not happy with the status quo. And we didn't get any fingers! Actually people were confused as to which side we represented. Perfect! Mission accomplished - unity. We are, after all, all Canadians.
