The winds are also forecast to affect parts of Alberta, especially around the U.S border.
The windy conditions will not be welcomed by anyone suffering from snow mould allergies, which have been plaguing many in Saskatchewan lately as winter weather becomes more springlike.
The freeze-thaw cycle can cause a variety of symptoms similar to hayfever such as watery eyes, sore throat, sneezing, a runny nose, and congestion.
It is not that the snow is mouldy, rather melting snow exposes the fungus and causes spores to become airborne. Any humidity generated by melting snow will accelerate the mould’s growth but the good news is that the fungus is killed off as the weather becomes warmer and drier.
Environment Canada’s extended forecast to March 14 doesn’t show much relief from that freeze-thaw cycle, with daytime highs in the low single digits or just below 0 C in many areas across the province and low temperatures hovering around the seasonal normal -14 C mark.
The Weather Network’s spring forecast for the province says changeable temperatures will continue in early spring but a warmer and drier weather pattern could developing in May.
