SASKATCHEWAN — Winter apparently has at least one more blast remaining for much of Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement early April 15 for much of southern and central Saskatchewan, including the cities of Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, and communities in more than 100 RMs.
"Although Wednesday [April 15] during the day will see many locations through southern Saskatchewan experiencing pleasant spring weather with highs in the low to mid teens, beginning overnight, the weather will see a stark shift with a wintry mix impulse passing through," Environment Canada said in the advisory.
Generally, when the precipitation begins overnight, Environment Canada said it will be snow for most portions of southern Saskatchewan. In some places, it might fall as rain before transitioning to snow.
"The snowfall amounts may vary considerably and there is a high amount of uncertainty as to where the heaviest bands of snowfall will occur. Amounts in the forecast may increase as this system develops," Environment Canada said.
From the Canada-U.S. border to Highway 1, Environment Canada said there will be a risk of freezing rain in the overnight period before the precipitation turns to snow in the morning.
This statement may be expanded or upgraded to warnings as this system develops.
SaskToday will have updates as they become available.
