⚠Yellow Warning - Snowfall ▶
3:21 p.m. MDT Wednesday 15 April 2026

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Heavy snow is expected to intensify tonight.

This heavy snowfall event will continue through Thursday for parts of central and southern Alberta, with total amounts of 15 to 30 cm.

Locally higher amounts are most likely over the Hwy 9 corridor between Calgary and Coronation where upwards of 40 cm is possible.

Poor visibility due to blowing snow is also possible in some areas tonight and Thursday morning, particularly east of Hwy 2 and toward the Saskatchewan border.

Snow will end Thursday evening.

Travel will likely be challenging. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Visibility will likely be reduced at times. Road closures are possible.

Allow extra time for travel. If driving, turn on your lights, slow down and maintain a safe following distance. Take frequent breaks and avoid strain when clearing snow.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ABstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #ABStorm.
