Daytime highs to increase by more than 20 degrees from Saturday to Monday

Visibility was compromised across Calgary and southern Alberta early Friday due to more light snow and fog.

Sustained north wind of 20 km/h made the situation worse by blowing some of the fresh and falling snow and creating wind chill values close to -20 in Calgary.

Light and scattered snow is expected to continue to fall throughout the day in Calgary on Friday and Saturday with accumulations of one to three centimetres each day.

Southern Alberta will see a lot more snow this weekend, especially along the southern border on Saturday.

Heavy, wet snow is expected in the B.C. interior Sunday ahead of another weather pattern shift that will introduce a persistent flow of warmer Pacific air for southern Alberta.

Daytime highs in Calgary will increase by more than 20 degrees from Saturday to Monday, and overnight lows are forecast to sit above freezing for more than five days.

These temperatures will lead to another period of rapid melting and could create challenges with infrastructure, pooling water, and areas where debris is blocking storm drains.

The normal high in Calgary this time of year is 3 C with a low of -8 C.
