Wintery weather is set to continue into tomorrow as a snowfall warning has been issued for several areas in the west central region.

Heavy snow and a risk of freezing rain are expected tonight and into Friday afternoon.

The snowfall warning is in effect for:

  • R.M. of Clinworth including Sceptre Lemsford and Portreeve
  • R.M. of Coteau including Birsay and Danielson Prov. Park
  • R.M. of Fertile Valley including Conquest Macrorie and Bounty
  • R.M. of Happyland including Leader Prelate and Mendham
  • R.M. of Harris including Harris and Tessier
  • R.M. of King George northwest of Lucky Lake
  • R.M. of Loreburn including Elbow Loreburn and Hawarden
  • R.M. of Milden including Dinsmore Milden and Wiseton
  • R.M. of Rudy including Outlook and Glenside

A low-pressure system over Montana will spread heavy snow and freezing rain to portions of Saskatchewan beginning Thursday night. Snowfall accumulations will be in the 10 to 15 cm range by the time the snow begins to taper off Friday afternoon. Along with the heavy snow, there will also be freezing rain at times, which can create icy conditions quite quickly.

With a cooler northerly flow now established over the area the precipitation is expected to fall mainly as wet snow, however a mixture of rain and snow is likely at times especially during the day.

Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

Remember to drive safely and check the highway hotline.
