April 2026 Forecasts and Discussions

They've upped it to 9C. They also upped the overnight lows from -1C to 3C for both tonight and Wednesday night.

Trough digs too far south and quickly ejects eastward. Looks like most potential for wet snow and hail will occur within the PSCZ that develops later. Could still see some rouge cells develop over the LM today for a mix of precip.

Rouge cells, as in Red radar returns..that would be cool and also as good some rogue cells which is what u prolly meant
Either way would be a good score…hopefully

ECs forecast has missed the troffy effects unfortunately.
Snow pellets in Whistler and the Similks catching flakes at 0c. EC called for rain showers for both locations, but instead we are seeing snow at noon.

Heavy snow is expected to develop later today.

This snow event will continue through Thursday for parts of central and southern Alberta, with total amounts of 15 to 30 cm. Locally higher amounts are possible.

Snow will begin by the early afternoon over the foothills and spread eastward this evening. Precipitation could begin as rain for some regions before quickly changing to snow.

Mid April in Calgary.

Snowfall warning issued by Environment Canada:

Similks and Calgary weather are quite similar..back side of the Coastal range and backside of the Rockies. From the teens and sunny in the Spring, to cold and snow 2 days later. Big swings. Both also get snow late into the year, May for sure, even June sometimes.

Coronation, Alb is forecast to get 30-45cms. That city is a ways NE of Calgary.
