Areas like Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Jasper, and Red Deer are all forecast to see the temperature switch and corresponding chance of rain, too.
Much of the province remains blanketed under a heat warning, with ECCC adding that cooler temperatures are expected to start moving into northwestern parts of the province mid-next week.
The only spots in the province that are set to see wickedly hot conditions that may persist into next weekend are some parts of southern Alberta, per the ECCC.
