Almost perfect Saturday for the Huskies in Canada West playoffs
18h ago
Huskies men's hockey and women's volleyball teams both forced game 3 Sunday.
People heading to the Heritage Classic at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday may be battling the elements.
A storm system is expected to enter the province late Friday and stick around through Saturday, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologist Terri Lang.
She expects a vigorous low-pressure system with strong wind and snow to move over central and southern Saskatchewan.
“Wind gusts could be in excess of 80 kilometres per hour, even closer to 90 in the southwest,” she explained. “Combine that with some snow flurry activity and dropping temperatures and you have a recipe for messy driving conditions.”
That could be bad news for drivers trying to get to Regina in time for puck drop, especially if they’re travelling from northern Saskatchewan.
“The bulk of the snow will fall to the north it would appear. That’s north of Prince Albert, sort of in the Buffalo Narrows-La Ronge-Pelican Narrows range,” she forecasts.
When the Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets face off Saturday at 8 p.m., Lang expects it will be windy at Mosaic Stadium and the temperature will likely continue to drop.
