EDMONTON -- As much as 40 centimetres of snowfall is possible along the Icefields Parkway by the end of Tuesday, prompting a possible closure in the area.

Due to significant blowing and drifting snow, Parks Canada will monitor Highway 93 south of Jasper between Athabasca Falls to the Saskatchewan River Crossing.

A short notice closure could take place any time from now through to Wednesday, Parks Canada warned drivers.
