Achi news desk-
With all the warm weather we’ve had this week, Friday will feel very different.
There is some precipitation on the way, but as the temperature in Calgary will only drop to 3 C or 4 C tonight, it will likely be mostly raindrops.
Expect isolated showers for Calgary Thursday night into Friday morning, along with more intense and consistent snowfall for the foothills.
Snow will fall west of Calgary on Highway 93 and south along the foothills to the US border, with the possibility of two to five centimeters in Banff and Canmore.

The precipitation comes from a cold front moving through which will also give us 50 km/h gusts through the night. You may hear the winds howling outside your window.
The cold front will bring in a colder air mass, which is why we’ll barely be able to make it into double digits on Friday afternoon. But this is mostly a one-day thing – temperatures will go back into the teens for the weekend.

Saturday will be a bit unsettled which will lead to pockets of rain and mild thunderstorms developing off the Rockies and tracking east. Some of that activity is possible around the dinner hours on Saturdays at YYC.
