Sask. braces for spring storms, with rain, thunder and possible snow ahead
Some spring showers – and possibly snow – could hit the province this week.
Erik Dykes, senior meteorologist with Environment Canada, said the forecast is calling for steady rain and pockets of heavy showers across all of Saskatchewan from Tuesday through Friday.
It is quite a broad area of low pressure that is coming in from the B.C. coast and interior British Columbia this morning, and it’s just going to sit in and park itself over the prairies for the majority of the week, so no one will escape the wrath of the rain,” Dykes said.
While it is hard to pinpoint exactly how much rain will fall in Regina in Saskatoon, Dykes said some areas in the southern end of the province could see two to three inches – 50 to 75 millimeters – of rain.
