Snowfall warning issued for central Saskatchewan

Up to 10 centimetres of snow is possible across a swath of central Saskatchewan, including Prince Albert, by Thursday morning.

Environment Canada said a low pressure system developing in southern Alberta on Wednesday is the reason it has issued a snowfall warning for parts of the province.

Snow is expected to start in the afternoon before tapering off in west-central Saskatchewan overnight, and Thursday morning in east-central regions.
