Ryley, Alberta, Canada Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Hazardous winter conditions will develop Wednesday morning.

Very poor visibility in blowing snow is likely as heavy snow, with total amounts of 10 to 20 cm, combines with strong gusty winds Wednesday morning.

Winds will begin to ease Wednesday afternoon, first across north-central Alberta. Blowing snow conditions will improve from northwest to southeast as winds diminish.

Heavy snow will continue after winds ease, but will taper off through the afternoon and evening from north to south.

Blizzard conditions are most likely to develop in southeastern areas, including Provost, Hanna, and Oyen, where current guidance suggests the strongest winds and heaviest snowfall.
