ORANGE WARNING - BLIZZARD

Impact Level: High

Forecast Confidence: High


Blizzard conditions with gusty winds and visibility frequently near zero in snow and blowing snow are expected. Locations: Portions of southern Saskatchewan, including the Yellowhead and Trans-Canada highway corridor. Total snowfall: 10 to 20 cm, with locally higher amounts possible. Maximum wind gusts: north to northeasterly 70 to 90 km/h. Time span: Wednesday morning through Wednesday night. Similar storms in the past have caused: - School closures and cancellations of scheduled activities - Adverse driving conditions and possible road closures - Scattered utility outages Remarks: A strong Alberta Clipper will bring heavy snow and strong, gusty winds leading to blizzard conditions over portions of southern Saskatchewan beginning Wednesday morning. There is also a risk of freezing rain throughout the day on Wednesday extending from Leader and Kindersley, southeast towards Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Regina, Estevan and Broadview. Conditions will begin to deteriorate quickly Wednesday morning as accumulating snow occurs in conjunction with strengthening winds. Blizzard conditions should begin to ease through Wednesday night. Travel will be dangerous and likely impossible due to near-zero visibility. Road closures are possible. Blizzard warnings are issued when near-zero visibility in blowing snow is expected. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to SKstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #SKStorm.
