Regions: Jasper.

The daily seasonal spring rhythm will be less pronounced over the next few days. Watch for isolated increasing hazard with prolonged solar effect.

Weather Forecast

Rain/snow showers are expected overnight Sunday, more in front ranges east of the region but isolated convection remains possible. Freezing levels will fall to valley bottom overnight and are forecasted to rise to 1800m, 2000m for the Icefields region, on Monday.

Snowpack Summary

The upper snowpack has transitioned through a series of melt-freeze cycles at at treeline and below on all aspects (and into the alpine on solar aspects). This seasonal spring rhythm is less pronounced over the next few days with cooling temps. On north facing alpine slopes up to 20cm of settled storm snow overlies previous old dry surfaces.
