This is very weird. We had 16C today which is 60F. Now an alert for thundershows then snow .......... all of the seasons in 24 hours I guess.

Special weather statement in effect for:
  • City of Edmonton - St. Albert - Sherwood Park
Snow and strong winds tonight and Wednesday.
April's weather in Alberta will begin on a note that won't be fooling around.

A low pressure system has formed over Central Alberta and is forecast to track east into Saskatchewan on Wednesday. Showers currently over the Grande Prairie and Peace River regions will intensify through the day and thunderstorms are possible near the low in Central Alberta this afternoon.

Tonight, precipitation will change over to snow in most regions with the potential for locally heavy snow. Given the instability with this system snowfall amounts will be highly variable, but some regions may see in excess of 15 centimetres of heavy, wet snow. The main axis of snow should be along a line roughly from Grande Prairie and Peace River to Lloydminster and Cold Lake. Snowfall warnings have been issued for the regions where warning-level snowfall is most likely. The Capital region will see some snow, and 24-hour amounts by Wednesday evening will likely be close to 10 centimetres.

As the uncertainty in the low's intensity and track diminishes, warnings may be expanded tonight.

So did March come in like a lamb? (because it seem it wants to go out like a lion!)
