SASKATCHEWAN — The winter of 2025-26 isn't ready to loosen its grip on Saskatchewan just yet.
Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning April 6 for the city of Prince Albert, communities in 84 RMs, and several other areas in northern Saskatchewan.
"A late-season Alberta clipper will give heavy snow to portions of central Saskatchewan, beginning overnight Monday [April 6 and] into Tuesday," the warning states.
The heavy snow will taper off overnight April 7 and into the morning of April 8.
"Road closures are possible. Local utility outages are possible," the warning states.
Meanwhile, a special weather statement was issued for much of the province, including the cities of Saskatoon, Regina and Moose Jaw, along with dozens of RMs.
"With areas along and near the Yellowhead Highway being near the freezing mark, there remains considerable uncertainty in how much snow accumulates or melts on contact with the ground," the special weather statement says. "Areas on the southern edge of the snowfall warning will see wet snow with less accumulation. There will also be a risk of brief freezing rain in this area on Tuesday [March 7]."
For areas south of Highways 1 and 16, precipitation will fall mostly as rain, Environment Canada said, with even a risk of a few lightning strikes.
"There is a possibility that snowfall warnings are expanded southward as the system Approaches," Environment Canada said.
SaskToday will have updates as they become available.
