Possible snow in Banff, Jasper national parks prompts special weather statements
Global News
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, snow is expected over higher elevations this weekend.
Special weather statements have been issued for parts of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, warning of potential snowfall.
Areas under the warnings including Jasper National Park, Banff National Park and the Kananaskis — Canmore region.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, snow is expected over higher elevations this weekend.
“Precipitation will begin today and continue through Sunday,” a weather alert reads, adding people should prepare for rapidly changing and deteriorating conditions.
“Rain is expected at valley bottom while higher elevations will likely see accumulating snow. The snow will be heavy and wet, so amounts will vary widely, but five to 15 cm are possible by Sunday night.”
Meteorologist Eric Van Lochem told Global News snowfall isn’t uncommon around this time of year.
“Last year at roughly this time, we had another system quite a bit stronger than this one, but very similar in nature, where we got really heavy rainfall that fell to the west of Edmonton and into the foothills,” he said.
“It was cold enough that there was heavy snowfall in parts of the mountain parks and immediate foothills in the Hinton area. I believe that was the event where Maligne Lake picked up just shy of 60 cm of snow in 24 hours.”
