Sunday P.M showers?

Cooler air moved into Southern Alberta today, and nowhere in Alberta did it reach 30C. Sunday will be similar, but there is a better chance of late-day showers developing. Monday will be milder, but a strong cold front will push through by evening producing showers or thunder-showers and windy conditions into Tuesday morning. After a damp, chilly Tuesday, we will begin a warming trend late Wednesday, and by late week, it will feel like summer again.
