Wintry weather returns to Alberta this week. Expect winter travel conditions from Wednesday overnight to Friday across central Alberta. Heavy wet snow will begin Wednesday night over parts of west-central Alberta, including for Grande Prairie, Whitecourt and Edson. On Thursday morning, snow will intensify across central Alberta, including the Edmonton area. South of Edmonton, across central-southern Alberta including Red Deer and areas east, rain mixed with freezing rain is possible before transitioning to snow Thursday afternoon. Snowfall amounts of 5 to 20 cm of snow is forecast by Friday morning across central Alberta, with higher accumulations of 25 cm possible near the Rocky Mountains and over west-central Alberta near Grande Prairie. Given the warm temperatures to start the week and uncertainty in how fast the snow will fall, confidence in total snowfall accumulations is moderate. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
