CTV Calgary weather specialist Warren Dean says the temperature in Calgary will drop throughout the day on Sunday and late afternoon showers will eventually give way to snowfall. Blizzard-like conditions are likely Monday morning as the city is expected to experience a combination of cold temperature and strong wind.
The snow and cold is not expected to last through the work week as the system that brought the blast of winter should leave the Calgary area by late Monday night. As of Sunday evening, Tuesday’s forecasted high for the City of Calgary is 13 degrees.
