A mix of winter weather expected over the next few days has led to a special weather statement for the Grande Prairie area from Environment Canada.
The weather office says periods of snow, rain and freezing rain are in store for many areas across central and eastern Alberta Sunday, followed by heavier snowfall beginning Monday morning.
The federal meteorology service says 5-10 cm is expected for areas near Nordegg, Rocky Mountain House and Edson by Monday evening. An additional 10-15 cm is likely overnight Monday from the B.C. border near Grande Prairie and Hinton east through Edmonton and into Saskatchewan for a total of 10-20 cm by Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday, winds are likely to increase from the northwest with blowing or drifting snow likely before the wind weakens Tuesday evening.
