A winter storm warning was issued for Highway 93 between Jasper and Lake Louise on Monday morning as hazardous winter conditions are expected.

Environment Canada says a total of 30 to 40 centimetres of snow is expected to fall by Tuesday morning.

"Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve," the alert stated.

"Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow."

Travellers are advised to continue monitoring alerts and forecasts issued
