Timing the snow Wednesday through Friday
Wet snow is expected to develop over Edmonton on Wednesday evening and overnight.
While Edmonton airport recorded traces of snow in October, any accumulation this week would mark the first measurable snowfall of the season. A light dusting may stick to untreated roads, sidewalks, and exposed surfaces, though totals remain uncertain.
On Thursday morning, the clipper system will organize, bringing snow along the Yellowhead Highway from west to east throughout the day. To the south, foothill winds are forecast to strengthen to 60-80 km/h, with the strongest gusts along the immediate foothills.
Calgary a miss for snow as temperature stay warm
Temperatures will hover around 0°C or slightly below along the system’s path and farther north, while warm, downsloping winds will keep Calgary, Alta., and southern regions in the double digits.
