Residents in Lethbridge can expect a stretch of mild spring weather this weekend, but should be prepared for a shift toward cooler temperatures and a chance of flurries by the middle of next week.
According to Environment Canada, the area will enjoy mainly sunny skies through Friday and Saturday, with daytime highs reaching 11°C and 12°C. These temperatures are consistent with local climate normals for April, which typically see highs of 11°C.
While Tuesday is expected to remain sunny with a high of 12°C, conditions will turn unsettled overnight. A 60 percent chance of rain showers or flurries is in the forecast, accompanied by a low of -3°C. By Wednesday, April 8, daytime temperatures are expected to drop to 0°C with continued cloud cover and a 60 percent chance of flurries.
This cooling trend aligns with broader regional forecasts for the season. Both The Weather Network and the Old Farmer’s Almanac have predicted that the spring months in Alberta would feature colder-than-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation.
Meteorologists note that late-season snow is common in the region. As explained by Environment Canada meteorologist Alysa Pederson, March is typically the snowiest month for southern Alberta, with April following as the second snowiest. Recent weather patterns, including significant snowfall recorded in nearby areas, suggest that residents should stay updated on changing conditions as spring weather continues to fluctuate.
