Widespread snowfall warnings are in effect as this event gets underway through the overnight hours. Be sure to monitor local highway conditions before heading out, keeping in mind that conditions may change rapidly over short distances.

Snow builds overnight Sunday into early Monday
An area of low pressure stalling out over central Alberta will give rise to locally heavy snowfall heading into the overnight hours.
Expect bursts of wet snow across Calgary as the trough lifts through the area, eventually stalling north of the city by Monday morning.
Snow will gradually lift north of Calgary and stall south of Red Deer, creating a heightened risk for heavy wet snowfall across portions of central Alberta.
The wet snow could weigh down branches and power lines, potentially leading to localized power outages.
