A new alert for the region is a blowing snow advisory, as Environment Canada says the combination of wind and snow will result in reduced visibility.

Blowing snow is expected to develop later this morning and last until the evening.

Drivers are asked to consider postponing all non-essential travel until conditions improve. If you do need to hit the road, they say to drive slowly, turn your lights on, and maintain a safe following distance.

Lethbridge is forecast to have a high of -11 degrees Celsius on Friday. Temperatures are expected to warm up early next week, with a high of zero on Monday and low pluses on Tuesday to Thursday.
