winter warning


A nasty snowstorm is coming our way to kick off the Easter long weekend.

A snowfall warning is in effect for the Shaunavon, Maple Creek, Val Marie and Cypress Hills areas, as up to 20 centimetres of snow is expected to fall tomorrow. Strong wind gusts up to 60 kilometres per hour will also accompany this storm.

The rest of the southwest should see some snow as well with up to 10cm expected by tomorrow night.

Drivers looking to get away this long weekend should keep an eye on the road and weather conditions before heading out. You can call the Highway Hotline at 1-888-335-7623, or click the Road Report link on Swift Current Online.
