The system that brought snow and freezing rain to southern Saskatchewan on Saturday has now passed through Manitoba.
“We have a lot of warm air crossing the mountains so we’ll have some warm air moving in to Regina, well to most of (the region) especially southwestern Saskatchewan with highs in the 5 to 8 degree range, so quite warm,” said Robyn Dyck, meteorologist with Environment Canada.
On Tuesday the forecast calls for four to eight centimetres of snow in Regina.
There is also the potential for freezing rain between the Battlefords and Swift Current overnight on Monday.
The rest of the week looks pretty warm.
