Parts of southern Alberta, including Calgary, could witness the first thunderstorms of the season this afternoon.
An upper trough of low pressure will allow instability to develop over Alberta later today which will bring scattered showers and the risk of some lightning strikes to parts of southeastern Alberta.
Temperatures remain normal with a high of 11C on tap for Calgary today.
This unsettled weather pattern will approach Calgary around 3 pm and begin to taper off in the evening, however, there is still the potential for some overnight flurries as we drop to a low of -2C.
Although the 24-hour rainfall chart suggests widespread showers, accumulations are predicted to be minimal, with models suggesting around a millimeter of rain from this system.
Once this rainfall is over, a ridge of high pressure works its way back into Western Canada bringing a warming trend and stable conditions through midday Sunday.
