The weather over the Thanksgiving weekend was unseasonably warm, with highs Monday in Alberta between 25 and 25°C in many communities.

The Canadian hot spot for Thanksgiving Monday was Bow Island, Alberta, which recorded a maximum temperature of nearly 28C.

In Calgary, daytime highs were between 20 and 25 degrees for much of the weekend, with warm lows overnight. The average temperature in Calgary for this time of year ranges from -1°C to 12.7°C.

Outside of the clouds, conditions in southern Alberta are expected to be mild over the next few days, with some precipitation west of the Rockies and mixed precipitation possible by Wednesday evening in the mountain parks.

Daytime maximum temperatures early next week will be much colder than the maximum temperature forecast for early this week. A cooler air mass will reduce maximum temperatures in Calgary on Monday to around 5°C.
