5:50 a.m. Winter storm warnings remain in place for much of Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan this morning.

Radar shows the storm is just to the north of Medicine Hat and is expected to continue moving eastward as the day progresses.

But, Environment Canada is still forecasting 5 to 15 cm of additional snowfall, with strong northerly winds developing this morning.

Gusts to 80 kph are expected to produce blowing snow until late this afternoon, and non-essential travel should wait until conditions improve.
