While the winter has started off on a slow note across Saskatchewan, that is about to change this week with a Colorado Low tracking through the province starting Tuesday evening. This will set the stage for a multi-day snowfall event as multiple rounds of precipitation affect mainly southeastern Saskatchewan between Wednesday and Friday. By the time the system moves out on Friday, we expect that total snowfall accumulation could range from 5 to 25cm+ in the hardest-hit locations.
The first effects of the Colorado Low are being felt Tuesday evening as the initial band of precipitation crosses across the North Dakota border and into Southwestern Manitoba. As a result, the worst conditions will be found in locations such as Oxbow, Estevan, Carlyle and Moosomin with the heaviest snowfall rates. By midnight, the moderate to heavy snowfall will have spread to much of southeastern Saskatchewan with the heaviest snow along the international border. Snow will continue overnight and into Wednesday morning although it will become more scattered later in the morning. Flurries and light snow will linger throughout the day on Wednesday and pick up in intensity towards the late afternoon and evening.

Overnight Wednesday, steady snow is expected to affect regions along the Manitoba border into early Thursday morning before tapering off by sunrise. Another round of snow will move in during the afternoon on Thursday, slowly tracking to the west. The overnight hours on Thursday will be dominated by steady light snowfall continuing into the early part of Friday before the system responsible for this snowy weather finally moves out by the end of Friday.
Moving to the western part of the province, it’s possible that snowfall could be quite isolated so not everyone highlight will see snowfall and areas in the 5-10cm may end up being missed, depending on where exactly the snowfall falls.
