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.
- Daytime Highs: Expected to hover around -10°C.
- Overnight Lows: Could drop to -20°C or lower.
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.
