Mother Nature turned up the heat on Monday as many areas in southern Alberta felt above seasonal temperatures along with plenty of sunshine.

Calgary made it to a  daytime high of 23C while Lethbridge saw the mercury rise to 26C and Medicine Hat was a balmy 28C.

However, those summer-like temperatures are on the slide, as highs on Tuesday will be about five to 10 degrees cooler across much of southern Alberta.

The precipitation will continue into Wednesday morning.

The system will stick around Tuesday and Wednesday, before making its way eastward Wednesday afternoon.
