Blizzard conditions to develop Monday afternoon.

An Alberta clipper will bring fresh snow, a risk of freezing rain and strong northwest winds gusting up to 90 km/h to parts of southern Saskatchewan Monday.

The falling snow and strong winds will combine to create blizzard conditions with near-zero visibilities at times.

Monday afternoon, there also exists the potential for freezing rain to develop before transitioning to snow.

Conditions will improve overnight on Monday as the winds diminish.

Monday night, as the system tracks into Manitoba, temperatures will fall to near or below normal values.

Please refer to local forecasts for specific information on timing of the onset of blizzard conditions, snowfall amounts and strength of winds.

Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.

Blizzard warnings are issued when widespread reduced visibilities of 400 metres or less are expected for at least 4 hours.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to SKstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #SKStorm.
