Precipitation in the forecast this weekend will bring some much-needed moisture to the province following an extremely dry start to spring.
Environment Canada says the big push of moisture will happen on Saturday and will bring a mixture of rain and snow to central and southern areas.
It will start off as rain, then turn to snow overnight on Saturday, said meteorologist Blaine Lowry.
“The heavy amounts are looking to be mainly south of Saskatoon — south of Highway 16 and west of Highway 11,” said Lowry.
Lowry said that, depending on the track the system takes, Saskatoon could see between two and four centimetres.
The hardest-hit area will be the higher-terrain areas in the southwest such as Cypress Hills, which could see between 15 and 25 centimetres.
As of Friday morning, no weather warnings had been issued, but Lowry noted the combination of snow and wind may trigger one.
“It’s possible,” he said. “It could get pretty breezy (with) northeasterly winds on Saturday night and into Sunday with gusts into the 70-kilometre(-per-hour) range.”
The heat slips away in favour of cooler air with daytime temperatures falling to single digits on Sunday for both Saskatoon and Regina.
Lowry said the system will push out of the province Sunday evening.
