Sunshine and Mild Fall Weather Give Way to Cold and Snowy Forecast Next Week
As Saskatchewan experiences mild fall weather, a significant shift is on the horizon. A substantial winter weather system is anticipated to arrive next week, bringing colder temperatures and potential snowfall.
Upcoming Cold Snap and Snow Forecast
According to Keane Kokolski, a meteorologist from Environment Canada, a weather system is being closely monitored. This system may bring snowfall to various regions in Saskatchewan, including Regina, starting Monday.
Timeline of the Weather System
- Monday Morning: Expected onset of snow across parts of Saskatchewan.
- Next Weekend: The coldest temperatures are projected to set in.
Temperature Changes
Kokolski noted a dramatic transition from mild autumn temperatures to significantly colder conditions. A ridge of high pressure moving in from the northwest will usher in Arctic air.

Snowfall Predictions
The precise amount of snowfall remains uncertain. However, current indications suggest that the heaviest snow may fall over southern Manitoba as the system interacts with a Colorado low.
