Daytime highs close to 30 C today for most of Alberta

A stable and persistent weather pattern will push daytime highs across most of Alberta to values well above average this week.

Calgary is expecting at least six days where daily highs will range from 23 C to 26 C with lows between 11 C to 13 C.

The normal range for this time of year is 19 C and 5 C.

Wildfire smoke mixed with fog settled in and around Calgary early Tuesday morning and, as of 7:30 a.m., was noticeable in most directions on area highways via 511 Alberta cameras.

There is a slight chance of active weather later Tuesday including potential thunderstorm development along the foothills.

Calgary is unlikely to see any significant rain for a while, with only some light and scattered showers forecast for Tuesday and again the end of the weekend.
