An intense pacific disturbance will move across northern Alberta tonight and Wednesday morning. As the system moves through the northern province periods of snow can be expected with amounts anywhere from 2 centimetres across the southern regions to 5 to 10 centimetres across the northern regions. In the wake of the system northwest winds 30 to 40 km/h will develop with drifting and blowing snow resulting. Exposed areas can expect to see reduced visibilities in blowing snow. As well extreme wind chills are a possibility in the northwestern regions tonight as colder air moves into these regions. Environment Canada is monitoring the situation and warnings will be issued if deemed necessary.

A winter storm watch is an alert of the potential development of severe winter weather. Persons in or near these areas should be prepared for developing adverse weather conditions and should listen for updated watches and possible warnings.
