Environment Canada says storm path could change

Potential for winter storm for Southern Alberta, maybe?

MEDICINE HAT — Environment Canada has posted special weather statements for all of Alberta, south of Calgary, as well as into southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

It says there’s the potential for widespread heavy snow, drifting and blowing snow but also says it has low to moderate confidence in that potential due to the variability of the system’s track.

It is possible that over the next 24 hours the track of the low may shift further south, limiting the snowfall amounts and blowing snow potential.

For now, the heaviest snow is forecast to occur near and along Highway 1 between Calgary and the Alberta-Saskatchewan border Friday afternoon and evening.
