Calgary expecting longest cold spell since March 2017

A change in the weather pattern is expected to bring cold temperatures into Alberta. Global Calgary

After breaking a new high temperature record Saturday at 24C, Calgary is expecting a run of daytime highs that will keep it below freezing for at least a week.

A change in the weather pattern early in the week will bring in colder Arctic air and the possibility of snow.

The Halloween forecast is expected to be seasonal with a high of 8C and an overnight low of -3C with a chance of rain. But once the mercury drops below 0C Tuesday night, the cold will stay for a while.

Forecast daytime highs after Wednesday are in the -1C to -10C range with overnight temperatures between -7C to -17C.
