More rain expected to come down on Calgary on Wednesday

Calgary will get more rain and thunderstorms Wednesday after an active day of weather on Tuesday.

The messy weather isn’t over yet, Calgary.

Dangerous storms tracked down the Trans-Canada Highway Tuesday as expected, with reports of tornadoes, ping pong ball sized hail, and damaging wind gusts over 120 km/h. In Calgary, It was much less intense with gusts 70 km/h and rain.

More rain is expected Wednesday, with heavy morning coming down at times in the morning. The city is expected to pick up two millimetres of rain, with most of that rainfall clearing out for part of the afternoon, although there is still a chance of showers and non-severe thunderstorms around the supper hours. It will be a cool day too with a high in the teens — but less windy.

There are a few isolated showers possible Thursday. Friday will be the best nicest day of the next five days as we return to temperatures in the 20s with lots of sunshine.

The next system rolls in on the weekend, which is expected to bring heavy rain on Saturday.
