All seasons accounted for in this week’s Calgary forecast

Rain is headed for the city on Wednesday ahead of snow's return later this week.

After a summery kick-off to the week, Calgary will have one day of spring before winter weather settles back over the city.

Wednesday will be raining for much of the day, with five to seven millimetres possible in the city. Temperatures will be cool, with a 12 C high in the morning that will fall throughout the rest of the day.

It will also be windy, with gusts up to 60 kilometres an hour expected coming from the cold north.

Much of Thursday will be stable and cool, but by the supper hours, isolated flurries are possible.

The real snow will fall on Friday, with five centimetres expected. Another one to three centimetres are expected on Saturday. Daytime highs will be below freezing. The slow recovery will start on Sunday.
