After a mild, long fall and snowless Halloween, Edmonton residents should brace themselves for what could be a dicey commute on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Environment Canada says Wednesday would be a good time to get your winter tires on and finish yard work if you haven\u2019t already, because precipitation is coming overnight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not the first snow seen in Alberta for the season; but there is a potential for hazardous conditions across a large portion of the province,\u201d said Global News weather specialist Phil Darlington.<\/p>\n
Wednesday morning saw mixed precipitation in parts of southern Alberta, Darlington said, and now a fast-moving and fast-developing system will arrive over the Edmonton area on Wednesday evening as the temperature hovers around freezing \u2014 a recipe for poor road conditions.<\/p>\n

Around five centimeters of wet snow mixed with rain is expected and there will likely be some melting on contact with surfaces like roads.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccumulation amounts are varied as the precipitation is expected to arrive in multiple states.\u201d<\/p>\n
It will also be windy Wednesday evening. Environment Canada forecasts southeast winds of 20 km\/h, gusting to 40 km\/h, before lightening up overnight.<\/p>\n
The initial wave of rain and snow is likely to ease up through the day on Thursday, however a secondary system moving through the province overnight into Friday morning will bring more light snow to Edmonton and other regions.<\/p>\n
