A late-season blast of winter is set to return to southern Saskatchewan, with a significant snowfall expected to impact travel and daily routines early this week. Snowfall set to blanket southern Saskatchewan According to Environment Canada, a developing low-pressure system will bring widespread snow beginning Sunday evening and continuing into Tuesday morning. Meteorologist James Colangelo says the system is shaping up to deliver the heaviest snowfall in the Moose Jaw and Regina regions. “Looking like starting overnight tonight and then through the day tomorrow… that will bring a swath of snow through the southern part of the province,” Colangelo said. “It looks like the Moose Jaw–Regina area will probably be the heaviest hit with storm total snowfalls in the 10 to 15 cm range.” A special weather statement echoes that forecast, noting a band of heavier snow stretching from Moose Jaw through Regina and southeast toward the Manitoba border. Timing and travel impacts Snow is expected to begin falling late Sunday evening, with the heaviest accumulation arriving overnight and continuing through Monday. “Probably around like eight or nine o’clock… that’s kind of when we’re expecting the snow to start in the area,” Colangelo said. The snowfall is expected to persist throughout Monday before tapering off early Tuesday morning. Officials warn that heavy, accumulating snow could impact the Monday morning commute, reducing visibility and creating slippery road conditions.

There is also a chance of additional unsettled weather later in the week, including a mix of snow and rain, though not as significant as this system.
