Riders prepare for Redblacks after first win in months
11h ago
For the first time since July, the Riders can build off a win on Saturday.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for most of Saskatchewan.
The affected areas include anywhere in the province south of Meadow Lake.
The most significant weather pattern should be strong winds between 60 and 80 kilometres per hour.
Gusts could get up to 100 km/h.
“The winds are the main issue with this system. It looks like we’ll see the high winds start to develop in the southwest corner Wednesday morning and quickly spread eastward toward the Manitoba border by Wednesday afternoon,” said meteorologist Jason Knight.
As well, the clipper system could bring snow and freezing rain.
But even though the weather office is not expecting high amounts of precipitation, the wind would create poor travel conditions.
“Certainly it’s going to be miserable at times with the high winds and if you get a flurry with that or a squall with even a couple centimetres, conditions will become quite poor,” Knight said.
Conditions should improve after Thursday and Knight forecasts a return to what has been a mild winter thus far.
“Temperatures (should be) continuing 10 degrees above normal,” he said. “There’s not a whole lot of weather of note beyond that so a fairly mild January continues.”
