Calgary is expecting another round of spring snowfall, with forecasters warning of difficult travel and changing conditions through the remainder of the weekend.<\/p>\n
A special weather statement issued Saturday afternoon by Environment Canada cautions that poor travel conditions are expected tonight through Monday morning, as \u201cbands of heavy snow\u201d develop across southern Alberta. <\/p>\n
The agency says the heaviest impacts will likely be felt along the Highway 1 and Highway 2 corridors near Calgary and into the foothills to the west.<\/p>\n
660 NewsRadio meteorologist Kevin Stanfield of 660 NewsRadio says Calgarians should be prepared for a fresh blanket of snow beginning late Saturday and continuing into Sunday evening. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe can expect some snowfall as we head through the afternoon and into the evening with snowfall totals ranging from 6 to 12 centimetres across parts of the city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Stanfield notes that most of the accumulation will come on Sunday, with a slight chance of lingering flurries into Monday.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada\u2019s outlook suggests even higher totals in some areas, with 15 to 25 centimetres possible under the heaviest bands. Additional snowfall of 5 to 10 centimetres is expected Sunday night into Monday across the foothills and much of central Alberta. <\/p>\n
Drivers are being urged to allow extra time, as forecasters warn of periods of poor visibility and quickly accumulating snow.<\/p>\n
