Depending on where you are in the province, there is a good chance you are under a weather warning of some type. From North of Lloydminster into Onion Lake in the west and spanning south to past Kindersley, then tracking east to Rose Valley and further southeast to the Manitoba border, is a blowing snow advisory. Saskatoon is included in this, with poor visibility in blowing snow tonight and very strong winds. In the southwest corner of the province, as of  6 p.m. Thursday, there is a wind warning, but the up to 90 km/h winds are forecast to die down tonight. Further north, including Prince Albert, it’s a snowfall warning with 10 to 15 cm expected and in some areas it could be 15 to 20 cm. The snow will taper off by Friday morning.

Environment Canada meteorologist Brian Proctor says an Alberta Clipper is bringing colder temperatures, snow and very gusty, strong winds. He expects it will move along, just north of the Yellowhead Highway and along the Parkland boundary, heading to Southeast Saskatchewan through to Manitoba. In the Saskatoon area, Proctor expects the strong winds will be this evening and overnight before gradually dying off on Friday. He calls it a fairly fast moving, intense system – a real shot of winter after milder conditions.

Because we have had milder weather and there may be snow melt on the roads, Proctor expects road conditions will be treacherous as the system moves through your area, with the melt freezing, snow and blowing snow reducing visibility and the wind polishing off the ice.
