Other than a small hiccup on Wednesday, it's going to be smooth sailing weather-wise for the next little bit according to meteorologists. 

The forecast is showing a lot of sunshine that's expected to last through to next week before returning to the more usual daytime highs that we would see this close to Christmas.

"We're certainly in for a bit of a mild spell, the Chinook that's been hitting Alberta is making its way into Saskatchewan, those southwesterly winds are kicking up and bringing that milder air," explained Terri Lang, Warning Preparedness Meteorologists for Environment and Climate Change Canada. "We will see some milder temperatures, but people should be aware that with the milder temperatures it does bring some melting snow, and because overnight lows are dipping into below the freezing mark that the roads are going to freeze over."

The expected precipitation coming mid-week is sticking out like a sore thumb in the forecast, and Lang noted we'll definitely see some moisture in the Moose Jaw area. 

"We do have a weather system coming through on Wednesday. It's still kind of getting itself organized, it looks like there's going to be some snow flurries with that - it'll probably be wet snow flurries melting. We're also going to get some wind with that; people should be aware of that when they're traveling out and about on Wednesday."

However, it's still difficult to determine if it'll be more rain than snow or the other way around said Lang.

"It kind of depends on what time the precipitation decides to come through. If temperatures are above freezing, it probably will still fall as snow and melt on contact. There's a lot of things that go into when snow is falling - not just the air temperature. As the snow falls it tends to cool the air as it falls so that can sometimes turn rain into snow when we're not expecting it."

She noted that despite the sunshine and precipitation making an appearance in the forecast, drivers should also always be checking the roads and weather conditions before venturing out. Click here to see the five-day forecast, and click here to check out the Highway Hotline.
