UPDATE: All advisories mentioned in this story have ended
A snowfall warning has ended in Saskatoon but remains in place for part of west-central Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada said the low pressure trough spread snow through the region overnight, with 10 centimetres of snow reported in Saskatoon as of 8 a.m. CT Friday.
The area of snow will gradually move north and eastward, lifting north of the Yellowhead Highway. The agency says areas to the south will see little or no additional snow Friday.
The trough will swing back through southern Saskatchewan on Friday night and Saturday morning with a few more centimetres accompanying it. North winds behind the trough will push temperatures back to normal or below normal values.
A wide range of snowfall totals from this system are still likely, with areas from the Yellowhead and north looking at 24 hour totals in the 10 to 20 cm range, while southern areas escape with less than five centimetres.
Motorists planning to head out on roads are advised to use caution and check in with the Highway Hotline before heading out as visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
