Wet Weekend Weather

An upper level low off the west coast will pump relatively warm, but very moist air into Southern Alberta on the weekend. The heaviest rainfall will happen in the foothills and mountains of Alberta, and in BC. Calgary will be on the eastern edge of the rainfall, so we'll get less rain in the city, and it will be intermittent. Our best chances of showers are Friday night, early Saturday morning, Saturday evening, and Sunday afternoon. We could get relatively heavy rain Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Thunderstorms are possible Sunday afternoon.

After all that, it will be warmer and drier on Monday.
