WET WEATHER AS STAMPEDE ENDS

Perhaps it was too good to last. The nearly ideal weather for the Calgary Stampede will change on its final weekend, as showers move in Saturday, ahead of steadier rain on Sunday. Saturday will be the drier and warmer of the two days, with a cloudy sky and periodic showers. Steadier rain begins Sunday morning, and continues through the day, as the high temperature drops to the teens. Drier and warmer weather will return Monday.
