A snowfall warning has been issued for southeast Saskatchewan, including the Regina, Estevan, Weyburn and Carlyle areas.
According to Environment Canada, a long period of snow is expected with total accumulations of 10 to 20 centimetres by Friday afternoon.
Snow has already begun to fall along a slow-moving frontal boundary in southwestern sections early Thursday morning.
“This area of snow will continue to move towards the north and east as the day progresses. The heaviest snowfall accumulations are expected to begin tonight, stretching from the Battlefords region southeastwards, through Regina, towards Weyburn and Carlyle.”
Although snow will begin falling tonight in Saskatoon, the heaviest accumulations are expected to fall west of the city overnight. However, this heavy snow should make its way into the city by Friday morning.
Accumulations will begin to taper off from west to east Friday afternoon.
