Winter Storm Warning Ended

(Locations listed below description)

Poor visibility in snow and blowing snow is expected or occurring in some locations.

A strong Arctic cold front will work its way across the prairies later this afternoon and this evening. As it crosses the Region strong northerly winds, gusting up to 70 km/h, will combine with falling snow to create poor visibilities in blowing snow. Near blizzard condition may be possible at times especially late this afternoon and early this evening in open areas.

In addition to the strong winds, heavy snowfall is also expected. However the heaviest snowfall is expected to fall North of the trans-Canada and Yellowhead highways where 15 to 25 cm is likely by Wednesday morning. South and along the trans-Canada Highway snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 are possible. Conditions throughout the Region are expected to improve overnight into Wednesday morning.

Visibility may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.

Blowing snow advisories are issued when winds are expected to create blowing snow giving poor visibility to 800 metres or less for at least 3 hours.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to skstorm@Canada.ca or tweet reports using #SKStorm.
