Calgary will see a 17°C temperature drop overnight and snow this week

After a warm long weekend in Calgary, there are only a few more days to soak up the nice weather before a big temperature drop and snow take over the city.

Calgarians will continue to enjoy double-digit temperatures until mid-week, with the warmth peaking on Tuesday with a high of 16°C.

That “balmy” spring weather won’t last long, though. Temperatures are expected to plunge below zero by Wednesday night. Wednesday’s overnight low is -1°C, a smidge higher than Thursday’s overnight low of -2°C.

That’s a 17°C temperature between Tuesday and Wednesday, so keep your winter coats handy!

Calgarians could expect to see more of this kind of weather this month, with April’s forecast predicting a possible cooler weather trend in the area.

If you live further north, though, the good news is warmer temperatures are in the forecast in contrast to the south of the province.
