Just days after a heat wave swept through much of Alberta, an out-of-season storm is expected to bring heavy snowfall to the province's mountain parks. Environment Canada issued a winter storm warning for areas of Banff and Jasper National Parks along Highway 93 on Sunday afternoon. The warning states that heavy snowfall is expected to begin in the region overnight at higher elevations, and that 30 to 40 centimetres of snow is expected to fall by Tuesday morning. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow," the agency cautioned. And on Saturday, intense thunderstorms swept through the southern part of the province, bringing at least one tornado to the High River area.
