Snowfall, freezing rain warnings in effect in central, eastern Saskatchewan

Mar 25, 2026 | 7:47 AM

Central and eastern parts of Saskatchewan could be in for some messy weather on Wednesday.

A snowfall warning from Environment Canada covered a large area on Wednesday morning, stretching from just east of Saskatoon to the Manitoba border, including Humboldt, Melfort, Nipawin, Tisdale, Hudson Bay, Canora and Wynyard, as well as the surrounding areas.

The weather service said as much as 20 centimetres of snow could fall in some areas covered by the warning.

“A developing low pressure system will bring accumulating snowfall to the region starting Wednesday morning and continuing through Wednesday evening and overnight,” Environment Canada said in a statement.

“The exact location of heaviest snow remains uncertain, but significant accumulations are likely in some areas.”

The snow is expected to make travel tricky as well.

“Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions,” Environment Canada warned.

Meanwhile, an area covering Regina and stretching east to Moosomin was under a freezing rain warning on Wednesday morning.

“The freezing rain threat will diminish by late morning,” Environment Canada said.

Meteorologist Danielle Desjardins said it’s not unusual to see a snowstorm hit early in the spring, but that doesn’t mean anyone is happy about it.

“It’s not really a surprising situation, but of course when you get this late into March, people are pretty anxious to get over winter and get on with the spring, so it can be frustrating,” she said during an interview on Tuesday.

The latest updates on the weather alerts can be found on Environment Canada’s website, and current road conditions can be accessed via the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline.
