Storm across southern Saskatchewan

A spring storm is expected to dump 10-15cm of snow across the extreme southwest portions of Saskatchewan tonight into Thursday. Hardest hit will be the Cypress Hills.

While Gravelbourg will be on the edge of the precipitation shield it will be affected by strong winds. Winds are expected to increase to the 50-70km/h range across the southland with gusts to 90km/h. Blizzard conditions may develop across the area closest to the Alberta border.

Winds and precipitation should subside from west to east early Thursday morning. Keep in mind that even where the rain falls, it may end as a period of wet snow Wednesday night, creating slick roads. Travel west into Alberta is not recommended tonight and tomorrow.
