Earlier this evening, Mounties warned drivers of hazardous road conditions across southern Alberta, particularly along highways between Airdrie and Red Deer, including Olds and Bowden. Black ice and severe winds create dangerous driving conditions, with limited stopping ability over short distances.
Drivers are advised to reduce speeds, drive cautiously, and avoid non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Environment Canada is forecasting rain showers or flurries, transitioning to snow before tapering off this evening. Winds will ease overnight, with temperatures dropping to -10 C and a wind chill of -17.
