Our mild fall is coming to an end. That’s the warning from Environment and Climate Change Canada Sunday afternoon as a special weather statement has been issued for Moose Jaw and southern Saskatchewan.

A cold front slumping southward gives showers and ushers in the first Arctic air of the season.

Highs will drop to the single digits through much of the week before colder air moves in late week with temperatures in the -5 to -10 degree range likely by next weekend and into Halloween.

The colder temperatures will bring accumulating snow to western Saskatchewan late Monday into Tuesday. The area of snow will move across the province on Monday night into Tuesday and then into western Manitoba on Tuesday into Wednesday. General amounts will be in the 5 cm range but may be higher over southwestern Saskatchewan so this area will have to be closely monitored for potential snowfall warnings as the event nears.
