Alberta faces rapid temperature drop after warm spell

Alberta is bracing for a dramatic temperature swing, with a potential 30-degree day followed by a significant cold front and a rapid temperature drop. After experiencing summer-like warmth with highs in the mid-20s, Alberta will see temperatures plummet by as much as 25 degrees Celsius within 24 hours, starting late Saturday. Calgary anticipates a 20-degree drop in just 12 hours. This drastic change will bring rain and possible snow flurries, impacting areas along the QE2 and foothills, as the cold front moves through the province.
