Autumn begins Saturday in Saskatchewan, and Mother Nature is setting it off with a bang. 

We didn't see much precipitation throughout the summer months, but things are much different as we transition into another season. According to the forecast the start of fall is going to be wet and we may see our first bit of snow in the Friendly City. 

"Waves of rain and snow will occur across the Canadian prairies as we move forward through the next few days. The precipitation is going to continue in the wet weather mode we've been in for a while. There will be widespread moisture to deal with as we go forward through the next few days and it does include snow," described Drew Lerner. "Precipitation (Friday) is going to be most concentrated near the U.S. border and areas south of Highway 1 will see widespread rain and some drizzle. The moisture totals in that area will most likely end up in the range of around 3-8 millimeters, we'll look for some local totals close to 13 millimeters immediately along the U.S. border."

It may put some people's minds at ease that Lerner predicts most snowfall will be dissolved to puddles shortly after the sun comes up on Saturday, if we see any in this area. 

"The greatest snowfall will likely occur in the northwest part of the province, we'll look for totals that could run from 6-13 centimeters. After this system passes, we'll likely see drier and colder air working its way back across the prairies."
