SASKATCHEWAN — Some weather warnings issued by Environment Canada remain in effect Feb. 27 for parts of Saskatchewan.
A blowing snow advisory has been lifted. The warning was initially put in place Feb. 26 for the city of Regina and more than 100 RMs. It was lifted for most communities the morning of Feb. 27, and it ended for other communities later in the day.
"Widespread blowing snow continues for portions of southeastern Saskatchewan late this morning," an updated advisory states. "Recent snowfall, gusty winds and falling temperatures will create conditions suitable for widespread reductions in visibility."
Conditions are expected to improve in the afternoon, the advisory states.
Travel will likely be hazardous due to near-zero visibility, the advisory said. Environment Canada suggests people consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Meanwhile, a yellow-level snowfall warning continues for southwest Saskatchewan, including the RMs of Maple Creek, Reno, Frontier and White Valley.
"A long period of snowfall with total amounts of 15-20 centimetres is expected," the warning states.
Snowfall is expected to begin by the morning of Feb. 27. However, the heaviest snowfall will be that evening, with the event wrapping up overnight. Total accumulations of 15-20 centimetres are expected, the warning says, especially at higher elevations on the north-facing parts of the Cypress Hills.
"Visibility will likely be reduced at times. If driving, turn on your lights, slow down and maintain a safe following distance."
A snow squall warning that was in effect Feb. 26 for the city of Saskatoon and many RMs in central, northwest and west-central Saskatchewan has been lifted.
SaskToday will have updates as they become available.
