Thunderstorms Wednesday

Wednesday should be another day of active weather in Calgary and southern Alberta. We'll get another shot at hot weather, with temperatures climbing to the high 20s to mid 30s across southern Alberta. That heat will help fuel afternoon thunderstorms, which may be stronger than the rumbles that went through Tuesday. After Wednesday, a cooling trend begins, leading into what may turn out to be a rather wet weekend.
