Things are about to get chilly in Calgary.

While we may have been enjoying the double-digit temperatures over the past week or so, the sunny weather unfortunately is not meant to last.

Temperatures are expected to plummet back to late-fall levels later this week, according to the seven-day forecast from The Weather Network.

Calgarians will be able to enjoy a few more warm days first, however, with Monday reaching a high of 14°C and Tuesday hitting temperatures of 12°C.

Tuesday night will bring the first bit of snow with it as well as 1 to 3 cm is expected to fall when all is said and done.

Wednesday follows up with an additional 2 to 4 cm and a high of just 2°C.

The skies will clear on Thursday, though temperatures will drop again to highs of just 0°C, a high that will be echoed on Friday when it will feel closer to -4°C.

Saturday and Sunday both bring scattered flurries and highs of -1°C. With around 1 cm of snow falling each day we wouldn’t worry too much about breaking out the snow shovel… yet.
