Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the southern half of Saskatchewan.
The statement calls for an “abrupt transition to fall this Labour Day Weekend” and runs from Sunday to Tuesday.
The forecast calls for wind gusts of between 50 and 80 kilometres per hour from the northwest on Sunday, with the strongest gusts in the southeastern part of the province.
It adds that frost is possible in southern Saskatchewan on Tuesday morning.
“After a day of well-above-normal temperatures Saturday, an Alberta Clipper will form and pass cross the Prairies on Sunday,” the statement reads. “The system will bring showers, gusty winds and much cooler temperatures.
“A cold air mass will slide south in the wake of the Clipper over Saskatchewan for Monday and Tuesday morning. Cool winds from the north will dominate Monday, but ease Monday evening, allowing the cold air to settle in for Tuesday morning. Frost advisories are expected to be issued with the Monday afternoon forecasts.”
