Hazardous winter conditions are expected.
A spring storm over central Alberta will bring
snow and blowing snow into southern Alberta this evening.
In the wake of the cold front passing through this evening
expect strong northerly winds gusting as high as 90 km/h. These will lead to reduced visibilities in blowing snow and will produce local whiteout conditions, especially in places such as the highway 2 corridor and sections of the Trans Canada highway near Calgary.
Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm are expected with
higher amounts near 30 cm possible along the foothills. Heavy snow will taper off overnight and into Sunday morning.
Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.
Winter storm warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather are expected to occur together.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to
