Rainfall Warning and Snow Forecast for Thanksgiving Day
The Thanksgiving weekend, one of the busiest travel periods of the year, may be affected by unfavorable weather conditions. Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for a significant part of the province, spanning from Indian Head in the south to areas north of La Ronge, with the system expected to remain east of Saskatoon.
A highly localized band of heavy rainfall is anticipated in the area from north of Regina to Nipawan, with rainfall totals reaching 50 to 60 mm in warned areas and 30 to 40 mm in surrounding areas, including Regina. The rain is expected to transition into snow later in the evening before subsiding by Monday morning.
Strong winds with gusts of 60 to 80 km/h are also forecasted to develop in the afternoon, potentially making travel difficult due to rapidly accumulating snow.
