Depending on where you are in the province, there is a good chance you are under a weather warning of some type. In west Central Saskatchewan, it’s a blowing snow advisory. It’s a wind warning in the southwest corner of the province. In the Loon Lake, Makwa and Meadow Lake areas, it’s a freezing rain warning. North of that from West to East, it’s a snowfall warning with 15 to 25 centimetres expected, and tapering off tomorrow (Fri) morning. East of Prince Albert, including Melfort and Nipawin and through to the Manitoba border is also under a snowfall warning with 15 to 25 cm expected.

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.
