Melting not as intense this week with daytime highs around freezing
Temperatures will be more moderate this week as compared to unusually low values two weeks ago and unusually warm values last week.
Rapid melting occurred over the weekend due to the combination of warm westerly winds, sunshine, daytime highs around 11 C, and overnight temperatures about 16 degrees warmer than average.
Daytime highs in Calgary will hover around the freezing mark for most of the next five-days with overnight temperatures between -4 C to -7 C. The average range this time of year is -1 C for a high and -13 C for a low temperature.
Light snow is possible across Alberta late Monday and on Tuesday, including in Calgary, as an upper level system originating in the Arctic, begins to head south.
Chances are any precipitation associated with this system will align from the northwest corner of Alberta through to the southeast corner, with the capital region and the eastern half of the province likely to record the highest totals.
Light snow could fall closer to the QEII corridor south of Edmonton and impact the City of Calgary on Tuesday.
There will be little active weather in southern Alberta in the wake of this quick impulse and with a combination of sun and cloud more melting is likely to occur with more freezing overnight.
This could cause some sidewalks, parking lots, side streets, bridge decks and on and off-ramps to become icy for parts of the day.
