One more unsettled day before a return to highs in the mid-20s

Heading back to the mid-20s this week. Hannah Lepine has a look at the five-day forecast from the Sky Watch Weather Centre.

Light rain fell overnight across Calgary early Tuesday with a chance of more light and scattered showers throughout the day.

Tuesday will turn out to be very similar to Monday in terms of temperature and conditions across southern Alberta, but there is enough atmospheric instability throughout the rest of the province that some areas may see non-severe thunderstorms develop.

Light smoke is possible in Calgary and southern Alberta on Tuesday, similar to Monday, as north winds pick up particulate from source fires in the north-central regions and carry it south and east.

The upper pattern will start to shift late Tuesday, introducing warmer air from the west and Wednesday will kick off a more uniform, gradual and persistent warmer trend across Alberta.

Tuesday will be the coolest day for at least the next week in many communities across the region with daytime highs forecast to sit slightly below seasonal.

More sunshine is expected by the end of the week in Calgary and southern Alberta with highs forecast to reach the mid 20s and by early next week, some communities could see temperatures more than 10 degrees warmer than average.

In early June Calgary typically sees highs of 19 C and lows around 5 C.
