Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for all areas of southern Alberta and for much of the rest of the province.
Heavy snow and blowing snow is expected beginning tonight and tomorrow.
This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions and listen/look for updated statements.
An intense winter storm will move through Alberta today into Monday. Heavy snow has begun in northwestern Alberta this morning and will spread southeastward to southeastern Alberta by Monday afternoon. General amounts of 10 to 20 centimetres are expected along the track of the storm while some areas could see more than 30 centimetres by Tuesday morning.
In the wake of the storm system, strong northerly winds will develop and usher in cold Arctic air on Monday. Winds gusting above 60 km/h will produce blizzard condition in areas east of the foothills.
In addition in advance of the storm some areas may see some patchy freezing rain this afternoon.
Conditions will gradually improve from the north on Tuesday although temperatures will remain very cold.
