As many Airdrie residents are getting geared up for the long weekend one question remains, will mother nature cooperate?
According to Dan Kulak Meteorologist with Environment Canada says overall Alberta should see warm weather swing into effect for the weekend.
"The next couple days look like a bit of a wetter pattern although by the time we get into the long weekend we will see a gradual drying trend. We do expect to see some small showers around southern Alberta but we are expecting a good amount of sunshine for the weekend."
As temperatures push 20, we still run the risk of seeing potential thunderstorms in various parts of the province.
"The last week has been somewhat unstable when we get these thunderstorms that develop in various hours of the day and typically afternoons but generally we will see some good weather over the weekend with a low risk of thunderstorms over the weekend."
Below is a list of popular camping areas in Central Alberta and their weekend forecast.
