The past month's wide range of temperatures will hit both ends of the spectrum once again in the coming days.

This corner of the province has seen a rollercoaster of temperatures in the forecast so far in 2017. Highs hovering around 10 degrees have been experienced, along with lows near -30.

John Paul Cragg, a Warning Preparedness Meteorologist with Environment Canada explains this is a common back-and-forth experienced in the prairies quite often.

"There are two major air masses. One is cold arctic air making it down from the North West Territories into Saskatchewan. The other is a warm air mass that comes over the mountains from the Pacific down into the prairie region and really warms things up. Because of these two air masses battling it out across the prairies, we can get these drastic fluctuations in temperatures," he said.

Forecasting late January and into February, Cragg shares that a rapid cool-down is expected early next week, after Sunday's high of 8 degrees.

"Cold arctic air looks like it's going to be coming right back down into the province. The first week of February and maybe even beyond that, we could have below average temperatures across Saskatchewan. We could potentially even see the cold arctic air sticking around in the second week of February as well," he said.

Along with the cool-down, Cragg says strong winds are expected to follow the cold into the region on Monday.

Melting and freezing of precipitation on roadways could be hazardous to travel as well during this period.

"With a high of 8 degrees on Sunday, you're going to see some melting. If there's any water running across the roads or any snow that melts on the roadways, it will quickly freeze with the dropping temperatures. There could be some icy conditions on the roadways because of that pretty drastic warm-up followed by an extreme cool-down next week," he said.

A bright spot, Cragg says, is that very little precipitation is in the forecast for southwest Saskatchewan in the coming weeks.
