A different story is playing out for communities on the west side of the Rocky Mountains.

A low pressure system is tracking up from the states and will bring light snow to parts of the East and West Kootenay’s starting later Monday evening and in the early morning hours of Tuesday.

Snowfall totals look to be low for the most part, with areas like Cranbrook expecting 2-4 centimeters.

Models suggest the mountain range should inhibit any snow from tracking into the Calgary area, but some areas northwest of the city close to the northern foothills could see some light snow from this system.
