SASKATCHEWAN — The geographical south half of Saskatchewan, from Meadow Lake and Prince Albert south to the border, is looking at a change to colder temperatures and the first shot of accumulating snow coming this week.
Environment Canada says the mild fall weather will come to an abrupt end this week across the Prairies as a cold front slumping southward brings showers and ushers in the first Arctic air of the season.
Highs will drop to the single digits through much of the week before colder air moves in late week with temperatures in the -5 to -10 degree range likely by next weekend and into Halloween.
The colder temperatures will bring accumulating snow to western Saskatchewan late Monday into Tuesday, says Environment Canada. The area of snow will move across the province on Monday night into Tuesday and then into western Manitoba on Tuesday into Wednesday. General amounts will be in the 5 cm range but may be higher over southwestern Saskatchewan.
