City of Calgary under snowfall warning as 10 cm expected through the day
A snowfall warning was called for the City of Calgary and surrounding regions on Monday, Nov. 18, 2024.
The dreamy weather that Calgarians were enjoying for the first portion of November came to a grinding halt Monday morning.
On Monday, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued a snowfall warning for Calgary as 10 centimetres of snow is expected to fall through the day.
The heavier snow is expected to come in the morning and will ease later, the agency said.
ECCC said the toughest part of the day may be the morning rush hour commute.
"Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions."
CTV Calgary weather specialist Jodi Hughes said ECCC expanded its snowfall warning later in the morning to include more regions to the southwest and northeast.
"Once the snow tapers off cooler air, will prevail," she said.
"Calgary’s high on Monday will be just -2 C, but that will be the warmest high for at least a week.
"By Saturday, the high is forecast to reach -9 C with a low of -15 C, and on Sunday -12 C and -18 C respectively. The average range in Calgary this time of year is 2 C and -10 C."
