Canada Prairies Weather Outlook

The Prairies will be under the influence of an upper-level northwesterly flow pattern this week. The first disturbance to impact the Prairies will generate light to moderate amounts of snow near and north of Highway 16 today. Snow will continue for several areas north of Highway 16 Tuesday as a new disturbance enters the region. Disturbances will continue to promote snow or a wintry mixture of precipitation for several locations Wednesday into Thursday. Light precipitation will continue for portions of northern Alberta and several neighboring areas Friday when another system enters the region. Blowing and drifting of snow will be a concern for portions of the Prairies today and Tuesday due to breezy conditions. Travel may be impacted due to reduced visibility.
