As of 1:03 PM on Friday, March 13, 2026, Environment Canada has ended the severe snowfall warning for Blackfalds, Alberta. While earlier forecasts across the region suggested a major winter storm was on the way, the official alert for the town has now been cleared.

Before the warning was lifted, there were concerns that central Alberta could see up to 20 cm of snow. The updated forecast now indicates that Blackfalds will experience much lighter conditions than the heavy snowfall initially feared for the area.

Local residents should still expect some minor snow flurries as they head into the weekend. Forecasts show that about 2 cm of snow is expected to fall overnight on Friday, March 13, 2026, leading into Saturday morning.

Even with the severe weather alert removed, drivers and commuters are advised to stay cautious. Shifting weather patterns can still cause slippery road conditions, so it is important to stay alert while traveling through the community over the next few days.
