Stormy end to a sunny day

An upper disturbance triggered thunderstorms in Calgary on Sunday, and we have more active weather heading our way Monday. A cold front will hit the city around noon Monday, and with it we have a chance of showers, but the big story will be the difference in air temperature. We’ll feel cooler conditions move in on Monday and stick around on Tuesday. A ridge of high pressure moves in after that and warms us up!
