P.A. on tail end of intense snow system: Environment Canada
Prince Albert, Saskatoon and surrounding areas will be hit with the tail end of a weather system hitting southeastern Saskatchewan on Tuesday, according to Environment Canada.
The Environment Canada special weather statement for 10 to 15 centimetres of snow in the southeast was issued Monday morning, and extended from the south of the province up to central Saskatchewan. This includes Prince Albert, Melfort, Tisdale, Big River, and Meadow Lake.
However, as one of the northernmost areas to receive a final impulse of snow moving upwards, Prince Albert will only receive about five centimetres, said John Paul Cragg, warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.
“Maybe five to 10 centimetres, but probably more around five centimetres of wet snow over the course of the day” will fall in Prince Albert area on Tuesday starting in the morning and clearing up by the late afternoon and evening, Cragg said.
