A portion of Southern Alberta can expect upwards of 15 cm of snow today.

An area extending from west of Nanton down to the M.D. of Pincher Creek is under a snowfall warning.

The area includes Highway 22 west of Nanton, Bellevue, Lundbreck, Pincher Creek, parts of Highway 6 and Highway 3.

Between 10 and 15 cm of snowfall is expected, beginning this morning, but it will taper off throughout the evening.

The ground will initially be warm as the snow falls, which will cause some of the snow to melt, causing the amount of snow accumulating to vary considerably.

Due to the snow rapidly accumulating, travelling through some areas may be difficult, and visibility may become reduced suddenly when there is heavy snowfall.

Environment Canada is advising everyone to be prepared for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions,

Those in higher terrains can expect higher amounts of snowfall, where there is a chance for 25cm of snowfall today.

These snowfall warnings are issued when there is a significant snowfall expected.
