Environment Canada warns of snow in southeast Sask.

A Colorado low continues to bring what Environment Canada called “a mixed bag of precipitation” to southeastern Saskatchewan, and on Thursday that probably means some snow.

The weather service issued a special weather statement for the region which remained in effect on Thursday morning. The statement covered the areas around Carlyle, Estevan, Moosomin, Weyburn and Yorkton.

Just before 11:30 a.m., Environment Canada issued snowfall warnings for areas in the southeast, including areas along the Manitoba border.

“Heavy snowfall, with accumulations of 10 (centimetres) or more, is occurring or expected,” the warning said. “The remnants of a Colorado Low has brought heavy snow to southeastern Saskatchewan. Conditions are expected to improve this evening.”

“Periods of snow will continue in southeastern Saskatchewan, southwestern Manitoba, and through the Interlake,” the statement read. “Snow will end Thursday evening for these areas. 4 to 8 cm of snow is expected today.”

The “mixed bag” of weather is expected to continue until Friday morning, Environment Canada said.

After that, the weather service predicted a return to colder weather, but said temperatures will likely still be above average for February.
