The Cochrane region is going to show off its flair for eclectic weather today as the forecast calls for a bit of a mixed bag.
Those in the region can expect a mix of sun and cloud with a 30 per cent chance of showers this afternoon and risk of a thunderstorm. Cochrane's signature wind that picked up last night will return becoming southeast 20 km/h and then gusting to 40 this morning. Expect the same this afternoon. Today's high is 18 with a UV index of 8, or very high, so slap on the sunscreen.
The air quality index is expected to stay air a low 2.
