The area of low pressure that was predicted to develop over central Alberta on Monday, July 17th still looks on track to develop.
This will mean clouds and showers over north-central regions of Alberta late on Monday and into early Tuesday.
There may be some thunderstorms overnight Monday over south-central regions. This low was originally forecasted to move off to the northeast but a building ridge of high pressure over the northern prairies will force this low to drop to the southeast instead.
The low will bring clouds, showers, and cool temperatures through southern Saskatchewan on Tuesday and then through southern Manitoba on Wednesday before mid-summer heat builds back in across the prairies.
