"The heaviest snow will begin late overnight Wednesday into Thursday. However, there is still uncertainty where the heaviest amounts will fall," Environment Canada said in a release.

Snowfall warnings are currently in effect for the western Alberta areas of Hinton-Grand Cache, Nordegg, Rocky Mountain House-Caroline and Whitecourt-Edson-Fox Creek-Swann Hills.

In Calgary, the snow route parking ban that went into effect Monday will be lifted Wednesday at 7 a.m., but the city says Calgarians should be prepared as another parking ban could be issued with the coming snowfall.
