Late-season Alberta clipper to bring snow across Prairies, Environment Canada says

Environment Canada says a late-season Alberta clipper is expected to bring snowfall to parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba through Tuesday and into Wednesday.

According to an Environment Canada weather statement, heavy snow is forecast in Alberta from Peace River toward Cold Lake, as well as between Banff and Jasper, beginning overnight and continuing into Wednesday morning.

In Saskatchewan, the agency says snowfall is expected to develop across central regions of the province on Tuesday and persist into Wednesday.

Manitoba is expected to see some of the highest accumulations, with 15 to 20 centimetres forecast in portions of western and central areas on Tuesday. Officials warn that rapidly changing and deteriorating travel conditions are likely as the system moves through.

Environment Canada advises motorists to monitor forecasts and adjust travel plans as needed. No road closures or emergency measures had been confirmed at the time of publication.
