A snowfall warning has been issued for the Grande Prairie-Beaverlodge-Valleyview area Friday, where as much as 20-25 centimetres of snow could fall by Saturday morning.

The warning extends south to include Grande Cache and Hinton.

The weather office says a long period of snowfall with total amounts of 20 to 25 cm is expected across west central Alberta Friday and into Saturday. Snowfall amounts could range between 10-15 cm today, with an additional 10 cm overnight.

Most of the snow will fall north of Highway 16 and south of Highway 43, with Environment Canada saying a lesser amount of snow is expected in the Grande Prairie area.

“Areas from Beaverlodge to the City of Grande Prairie to Valleyview and north will expect just a few centimetres of snow this evening.”
