Around 4 pm Tuesday, Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning for most areas of Central Alberta.

Heavy snowfall is expected tonight and Wednesday. Total amounts of 10 to 20 cm are forecast with local amounts approaching 30 cm.

Snow currently falling in the southern foothills will become heavier overnight as it spreads toward the north and east.

Snow will reach areas near the Saskatchewan border by the morning commute. The worst conditions are expected to occur during the day on Wednesday.

This snowfall event will come to an end by Thursday morning.

Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Take frequent breaks and avoid strain when clearing snow.
