Edmonton friends, heads up—a significant snow event is barreling in next week, kicking off a classic Alberta winter wallop! ❄️🌨️
Brace for a major snowstorm starting Monday night and continuing through Tuesday/Wednesday, with accumulating snow, plunging temps, and brutal wind chills. Here’s the latest forecast breakdown (sourced from Environment Canada, The Weather Network, and prairie storm updates—always check official sources as details can shift):
• Monday, Feb 16: Starts milder with peeks of sun then clouds roll in. High around -6°C (feels like -13°C+ with winds), 30-40% chance of flurries during the day. But watch out—snow ramps up overnight with 80% POP and 5-10 cm accumulation possible into Tuesday. East winds gusting strong. The storm’s arrival!
• Tuesday, Feb 17: Full-on snowy and cold—high near -14°C to -15°C (feels like -24°C), periods of snow continuing with 70%+ chance and another 5-10 cm (some models show higher totals as part of the broader system). This is the heavy hitter day for accumulation—10-20 cm possible by end of day across the region, with wind adding to the blizzard-like feel.
• Wednesday, Feb 18: Colder still, high around -20°C (or lower), mix of sun/clouds but lingering flurries or periods of snow possible (up to a few cm more). Lows plunging to -21°C to -30°C overnight. Wind chills will be dangerous—stay indoors if you can!
Models are showing 10-20+ cm total from this system (some prairie-wide forecasts hint even higher in spots north of the city), with the storm pushing east but dumping heavily here early on. Environment Canada notes snow starting Monday and continuing through Tuesday, with totals varying but significant.
