Strong winds and a wintry mix of precipitation is expected. Locations: Portions of southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba. Time span: Tuesday morning through to Wednesday morning. Remarks: A low-pressure system is expected to develop just east of the Rocky Mountains over southern Alberta Monday night and track southeast into southern Saskatchewan and western North Dakota on Tuesday. A narrow band of freezing rain is possible beginning Tuesday morning, extending from Kindersley to Estevan, presenting potential hazardous travel conditions. As the system progresses eastward, heavier snowfall is likely across southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba, including the parklands. While exact accumulations remain uncertain, a general range of 10 to 20 cm is anticipated, with higher totals possible over elevated terrain. Behind the system, winds will strengthen and could produce blowing snow across southern Saskatchewan on Tuesday. However, warmer air and the potential for freezing rain in southern areas may limit both snowfall and the extent of blowing snow there. The windiest locations are expected to see reduced new-snow amounts, except in southeast Saskatchewan where sufficient snowfall combined with stronger winds may still result in localized blowing snow. Meteorologists are actively monitoring the evolving situation, and it is anticipated that warnings will be issued later today. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
