Heavy snowfall expected in eastern Saskatchewan.

A low pressure system crossing southern Saskatchewan tonight will bring total snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm to easternmost regions.

The bulk of the snow will begin to taper off during the pre-dawn hours Tuesday morning.

Gusty northerly winds will follow the snow on the back side of this system Tuesday. Gusts up to 60 km/h are possible resulting in blowing snow reducing visibilities in some locations.

An arctic ridge of high pressure behind this storm system will bring a return of bitterly cold temperatures to the region, notably overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Wind chill values will likely approach the minus 40 mark once again before temperatures moderate somewhat to end the week.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
