Seasonal temperatures but mixed weather for the long weekend
Temperatures are expected to be seasonal with some storms in the mix. There's always a lot of pressure to deliver nice weather on the August long weekend, and to many Albertans chagrin, it usually always has at least one thunderstorm. This August long is no different. The rest of Friday evening should be rather calm and pleasant for Calgary, though there is a low risk for thunderstorms to track into the city overnight. There's a lot of convection brewing over the Rocky Mountains, but many of those thunderstorm cells are losing energy as they move into the foothills. Saturday storm outlook for Aug. 2, 2025 There's a minor risk of thunderstorms for Calgary on Saturday. (CTV Calgary) However, for those in the area, it could be a very active night for you! Saturday should start off fine for Calgary and the surrounding area with sun and cloud throughout the afternoon, but the Storm Outlook issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada has a bulk of the province, including the city, under a minor risk threat for thunderstorms tomorrow. The primary hazards for Calgary if a storm rolls through will be winds up to 70 km/h, hail up to 2 cm in diameter, and localized rainfall up 25 mm. Saturday night forecast, Aug. 2, 2025 The most severe active weather should roll through Calgary at around 9 p.m. Saturday night. (CTV Calgary) Models predict the most severe active weather tomorrow to roll through Calgary at around 9 pm, and as it stands now, the SW/SE quadrants will see the most intense conditions. The back half of the weekend brings increased cloud cover and scattered showers for Sunday and the holiday Monday, with a chance of isolated thunderstorms as well.

Severe thunderstorms possible late Friday with intermittent rain over the weekend
Patchy fog developed over portions of Calgary and southern Alberta early Friday, at times limiting visibility to less than one kilometre near Medicine Hat. In Calgary, the fog was mostly in low-lying areas and started to mix out by 7:30 a.m. Severe thunderstorms possible late Friday with intermittent rain over the weekend Foggy view from CTV Calgary at 7:15 a.m. July 18, 2025. The first part of Friday will be mild in Calgary with a mix of sun and cloud and minimal winds, but a low pressure system situated in the B.C. interior will move over the Rockies later in the day and introduce some instability. Rain will first show up along the foothills Friday afternoon, with thunderstorms popping up in the early evening west of the QEII and Highway 2. Calgary is likely to sit right in the pathway of this trough, meaning rain is likely later Friday and carry through overnight, with the potential of some severe thunderstorms development across the region. The greatest threats associated with Friday's thunderstorms include heavy rain, large-sized hail and strong winds. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will likely be a part of the weather story for most of the next few days, especially at the start of next week when persistent rain is expected. Severe thunderstorms possible late Friday with intermittent rain over the weekend Due to the counter-clockwise rotation around this initial low rainfall totals will be variable as it pushes back up against the eastern side of the Rockies. Calgary could see close to 20 millimetres of rain by Monday morning. Daytime highs will sit close to 20 C from Friday through Sunday, before dropping down to just 14 C on Tuesday. Severe thunderstorms possible late Friday with intermittent rain over the weekend There will be a return to a more stable weather pattern by the middle of next week and bring sunshine and highs in the mid to high 20s for Calgary.
