Weather conditions in Calgary are expected to deteriorate rapidly starting Tuesday as a shift in the weather pattern brings Arctic air across the western Prairies.
In the snowfall warning, the national weather agency advises motorists to"prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions." Unseasonably warm conditions over the weekend have left surface temperatures warm, meaning the snow from the start of this weather event will melt rather than accumulate on roadways and sidewalks. But as daytime highs sink below freezing and settle in a range colder than the average overnight low of -8 C, that snow will start to accumulate.
