On the heels of freezing rain warnings throughout Saskatchewan early Friday evening, there could be more intense winter weather on the way next week.
Keane Kokolski, meteorologist with Environment Canada, said they’re tracking a large, developing weather system that could bring snow to parts of Saskatchewan, including Regina, on Monday.

“It seems like the current guidance is suggesting that the system will briefly move through beginning on Monday morning,” he said.
As for the amount of snowfall that could be expected, Kokolski says that’s what the weather agency is trying to figure out as the system merges with a Colorado low.
“Current guidance suggests the bulk of that snow with that system is going to more or less potentially be over southern Manitoba,” he added.
What isn’t “up in the air” said Kokolski, is the dip from mild fall temperatures to much colder day and night time temperatures.
“There’s a ridge of high pressure that does move in from the northwest, bringing in that colder Arctic air,” he explained.
That will likely mean daytime temperatures around -10C, while overnight, it could get down to -20C or even colder.
“The coolest temperatures look like they’ll be moving in by next weekend,” he said.
Kokolski added that weather warnings, advisories and special weather statements will be updated as needed.
