Mid-May snow chances spread across Canada this week, with several provinces at risk of seeing the white stuff<\/p>\n

A shift in the weather pattern this week may lead to late-season snowfall across several Canadian provinces as cold air pushes south alongside active weather systems. While the May long weekend<\/a> is often considered the unofficial start of summer, this year, it could come with an unseasonable dose of snow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A noticeable cooldown is on the way<\/a>. Freezing levels are set to drop to 1500 metres on Thursday and lower by Friday. This could result in 10-20 cm of alpine snow across the Coastal, Kootenay, and Rocky Mountains.<\/p>\n

Wet snow and rain mixes may impact mountain passes, although chains are no longer required.<\/p>\n

A similar cooldown is expected across the Prairies. Freezing levels in Alberta’s Rockies may hover near 2000 metres. Late-week flurries are possible near Jasper and Banff, with a chance of additional snow over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Rainfall is forecast across the Prairies on Thursday, transitioning to snow in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan by Friday morning.<\/p>\n
