It may be the start of October and the heart of fall, but some spots in Alberta are eyeing the risk of seeing some snowfall this week.

According to The Weather Network, northern portions of the province and the Rockies might see a decent chance of snow.

“Timed with the incoming precipitation, these regions may wake up to a rain-snow mix, if not full-blown snowflakes, by Thursday morning,” The Weather Network added.
