Active AlertsLake Alma No. 8, SK

A late season winter storm is poised to impact southern Saskatchewan beginning overnight through Thursday.

Although many locations through southern Saskatchewan experienced pleasant spring weather on Wednesday with highs in the low to mid teens, beginning overnight, the weather will see a stark shift with a wintery mix impulse passing through.

Generally, when the precipitation begins overnight, it will be snow for most portions of southern Saskatchewan, however in some places, it may fall as rain before transitioning to snow. The snowfall amounts may vary considerably as 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.

Also of note, from the international border to the Transcanada highway, 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.
