winter storm warning for
city of calgary upgraded from winter storm watch

significant winter storm possible saturday the potential for severe winter weather exists over these regions.

A pacific system is expected to push onshore today and move across the rockies tonight. As a result snow and windy conditions will develop for southwestern regions of the province overnight tonight as upslope flow conditions intensify. By saturday evening the warned regions will see 15 to 25 cm of snow with winds of 40 to 50 km/h expected in exposed areas accompanied by blowing snow. The storm will persist into sunday.

For areas further to the north and east, snowfall amounts are less certain associated with the track and intensity of the system. Additionally ground temperatures are fairly warm and a lot of the precipitation will likely melt on contact.

Environment canada will continue to monitor the situation and will update the watch regions as appropriate through the day today.
