Another blast of winter is headed for southern Saskatchewan this week.
A Colorado low developing in the northeastern United States is expected to graze parts of Regina, southern Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips says while we don’t know just how much snow will hit our region, he expects it to move very slowly.
“The United States is going to be hit from Montana to Massachusetts,” Phillips said. “This is a monster storm. I’s going to affect the prairies to some extent. The idea is the further south you are, the more impactful it will be.
“In southeastern Saskatchewan, I think there will be some snow,” he added. “It’s a slow-motion storm. It normally takes two days to get from the Rockies to the Great Lakes; well, this one is going to take six days to get there.”
Phillips said the length of the storm will allow it to spread its misery over the course of four to five days. Regina has snow forecasted from Monday to Friday.
“It’s not going to bury you, but (the snow) is going to whiten (Regina) up,” Phillips stated.
Phillips suggested it will probably cool down quite a bit next week once the snow is gone.
The weather office says it’s unable to tell how much snow will fall because the system is still developing and is a little tricky to track.
“There’s a lot of variants as to what the models are saying,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Shannon Moodie. “Certainly, we’re going to see southeastern Saskatchewan get clipped. It looks like we’ll see that snow move in on Tuesday evening and Wednesday is when (the snow) will be heaviest.
“Regina is really tricky. It’s right on the edge of the system, so we can’t say specific numbers at that point because it’s going to vary at this point.”
While Environment Canada doesn’t have estimated snowfall numbers, Moodie mentioned it will be very grey.
“Don’t expect to see the sun for the rest of the week really,” Moodie joked.
Given the weather office doesn’t know how much snow is going to fall, Moodie reminds everyone to check the forecast for any watches and warnings that might be coming their way.
