Over the weekend Moose Jaw saw a fair amount of snow drop on the city and surrounding areas, creating some dangerous conditions for the time being.

On Monday in the Gravelbourg region, a snowfall warning was issued, however, Moose Jaw was not under the warning we did see quite a bit of snowfall in our area.

Sara Hoffman, Meteorologist with Environment Canada, detailed what was causing the poor conditions in the southern area of the province.

"There is a low-pressure system in Montana right now, southern Montana actually, moving eastward, and that band of snow is spilling over into Canada."

Locally, precipitation is expected to conclude Tuesday, with snow continuing as the day goes on.

Following the unfavourable conditions, the sun is expected, but as Hoffman explained, the wind will still be hampering the area.

"So right now there's arctic high-pressure systems building over Alberta and that should move south and eastward into Saskatchewan, and that should bring very cold temperatures into Saskatchewan for the early part of this week."

She said that with windchill, temperatures could border on extreme cold, potentially prompting a warning to be put in place.

"I expect that [current temperatures] to drop to get much closer to our extreme windchill of -40, I'm not sure if you will reach -40 and have to have an extreme cold warning to be issued for the area, but I'd expect temperatures to get quite close."

Commenting on the combination of snow and extreme wind, Hoffman said dangers may be present on the roads.

"We are expecting, as the band of flurries moves out, some northwesterly gust winds to kick up just for the early part of the evening, so I would just say to anyone driving on the highways to just make sure that you've got your lights on, and you're maintaining a safe following distance, and slowing down when you reach a pocket of reduced visibility."

Highway Hotline says that on highways around Moose Jaw that swirling, loose snow, as well as snow drifting is all present.
