A special weather statement issued on Tuesday morning included Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Humboldt, Melfort and North Battleford, stretching as far north as Meadow Lake and as far south as Esterhazy. Regina was just outside the area covered by the alert, but Environment Canada noted that the storm could affect an even broader area.
“A developing low pressure system will bring accumulating snowfall to the region starting Wednesday morning and continuing through Wednesday evening and overnight,” Environment Canada said in the weather statement.
“The exact location of heaviest snow remains uncertain, but significant accumulations are likely in some areas.”
Travel may be treacherous as the storm arrives, Environment Canada warned. Drivers were advised to consider postponing travel plans to avoid the worst of the weather.
The latest updates on the weather alert can be found on Environment Canada’s website, and current road conditions can be accessed via the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline.
