Environment Canada says a “significant” spring snowstorm could bring upwards of 10 to 20 centimetres of snow to parts of central and southern Saskatchewan Tuesday night and into Thursday.

Special Weather Statements have been issued for much of the central and southern portions of the province including Regina, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon.

“Rain mixed with snow will move into the region on Tuesday afternoon with precipitation fully transitioning to snow overnight on Tuesday. The heaviest snowfall will begin to fall early Wednesday morning,” Environment Canada said on its website.

According to Environment Canada, the heaviest precipitation is expected to be from the Regina area to the Manitoba Parklands.

Snowfall or winter storm watches and warnings are also likely to be issued as the system draws nearer and the low-pressure system's evolution becomes clearer in the coming days, Environment Canada said.

According to Environment Canada, travel conditions are expected to be particularly bad on Wednesday thanks to moderate to strong easterly winds.

As of Monday morning, Environment Canada said predicting the system remains to be, “quite a challenge.”
