Moisture levels normal as Saskatchewan heads into winter

Saskatchewan’s moisture level is right about where it normally is as we head into winter.

On Thursday, the Water Security Agency released its 2015 Conditions at Freeze-Up Report which shows that most of the province has normal moisture conditions for this time of year.

Some area of eastern Saskatchewan are listed as having higher-than-normal moisture levels . The Pipestone, Qu’Appelle, Assiniboine, Red Deer, Torch, and Carrot River Basins are all above normal.

The long-range forecast for the winter shows below-normal precipitation.

The first Spring Runoff Outlook for 2016 will be released in February 2016.
