Environment Canada is warning of strong winds, heavy snow, blowing snow and patchy freezing rain beginning overnight Sunday into Monday morning.
"Strong to severe winds will be the main story for southern Saskatchewan as a potent cold front follows in the wake of the low," the weather service said as of 9:24 a.m. March 28.
"Westerly winds gusting up to 80 km/h will initially impact the extreme southwest corner of the province on Sunday [March 28] evening as the low develops. As the cold front begins to enter the province by Monday [March 29] morning, strong to severe northwesterly wind gusts as high as 90 to 100 km/h will spread from west to east across the province. The strongest winds will stretch from The Battlefords to Kindersley and then southeastwards to Estevan."
In addition to the strong winds, moderate to heavy flurries or snow squalls will accompany the cold front as it tracks across the province on Monday, Environmental Canada said.
"Local snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm are likely, especially across the northern Grain Belt and Yellowhead Corridor. Heavy blowing snow and reduced visibilities will also accompany the cold front so travel will be particularly hazardous on Monday across the province."
Conditions are expected to improve by Tuesday, March 30.
