Calgary is set to enjoy one last warm day before a chilly long weekend, according to weather forecasts. The warm spell will give way to colder temperatures and potentially messy conditions starting Saturday.
Weather Shift Expected
After a pleasant Friday with highs near seasonal norms, a cold front will move into the region, bringing a sharp drop in temperatures and a chance of rain or snow. Residents are advised to plan outdoor activities accordingly and dress warmly for the Victoria Day weekend.
Weekend Outlook
Saturday and Sunday will see highs struggling to reach single digits Celsius, with overnight lows near freezing. The unsettled weather may include periods of rain mixed with wet snow, particularly in higher elevations. Monday is expected to remain cool but drier.
This pattern is typical for May in Calgary, where spring weather can be highly variable. The city has experienced similar swings in previous years, with warm days quickly followed by cold snaps.
For those heading out for the long weekend, it is recommended to check the latest forecasts and prepare for rapidly changing conditions. Road travel may be affected, especially in areas with higher elevation.
