Winter is coming

Storm system forecast to hit parts of Saskatchewan this weekend

Oct 11, 2025 | 1:48 PM

The weather in many parts of Saskatchewan will take a drastic turn from warm and sunny on Saturday, with daytime highs in the mid-20°C range, to cold, rainy, and snowy on Sunday.

Rose Carlsen, meteorologist with Environment Canada, said a special weather statement issued by the service covers areas from Nipawin in the north, south to the U.S. border, and from Regina east to the Manitoba border.

She said a system over central and northern Saskatchewan with a cold front is ushering in some cooler air from the northwest to southern Saskatchewan.

At the same time, a low-pressure system is going to be developing in Wyoming and Montana in the south that will bring anywhere from 30 mm to 60 mm, or more than two inches, of precipitation to the province.

“The issue with this storm is that there is quite a considerable amount of uncertainty with the system regarding right now, exactly where the track of the low-pressure system is going to go,” she said.

According to the weather statement, strong wind gusts up to 80 km/h are also expected in certain areas on Sunday morning.

While the exact impact is still tough to predict, Carlsen said northern areas near Humboldt and Nipawin will likely get more snow, while places like Estevan can expect more rain.

She suggests people living in the affected areas pay close attention to weather forecasts.

“This is a fairly dynamic situation that may change depending on how things are evolving, because we always are paying attention to situations as they evolve, and we need to adjust as it goes.”

While temperatures throughout much of the province are expected to dip this weekend near the freezing mark and continue for the next several days, Carlsen said they should return to normal daytime highs around 12°C next week.

“We are expecting it’ll be a little bit cooler for a few days, and then kind of start to rebound, probably more towards mid-week,” she added.

Carlsen said the Saskatoon area is on the flank of the storm and could see a minimal amount of rain and snowfall.
