Warm weather comes to an abrupt end Monday night
A mild Sunday night leads into a warm start to the work week, but don’t let that deceive you. Winter storm conditions expected for much of the province, starting in northern regions Monday morning.
That snow moves into central Alberta by the afternoon, coupled with a cold front swinging through the province, bringing gusty winds and plummeting temperatures.
Wind gusts across central and southern regions could reach 70-90 km/h by Monday evening, causing blowing snow, poor visibility, and road conditions.
