SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN - For the first time in months, Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for southern Saskatchewan.
The warning, issued early Saturday, says snowfall with total amounts of 10-15 centimetres is expected.
"A low-pressure system moving in from Montana will result in heavy snowfall today for parts of southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba," the warning states. "Latest model guidance and radar trends indicate heavy snowfall is likely with generally eight to 12 centimetres falling by Sunday morning."
Locally higher amounts of 15 centimetres are possible over the higher terrain in the Moose Mountains and Riding Mountains.
Slippery road conditions will also be a hazard with this system as cold air will begin to move into the region overnight, creating icy road conditions Sunday morning.
Snow should taper off late Saturday and into the overnight hours as the low weakens and moves into eastern Manitoba.
