It’s been a balmy week for much of Alberta with temperatures soaring; however, some parts of the province have the chance of snow in the forecast soon.
With how nice it has been lately, it’s hard to believe we are in the first week of February, but some Albertans will be looking for their snow shovels in a matter of days.
Looking at the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Significant Weather Outlook, a section of northern Alberta, including Fort McMurray, is at risk of seeing 10 to 15 centimetres of snow on Sunday.
Up to one millimetre of ice is also a risk, according to the outlook.
