It noted that parts of the province could see upwards of 10 cm of snow in the east central region, with winds gusting around 70 km/h.

Global News meteorologist Peter Quinlan said rapid precipitation is on its way, saying snow was expected for both Wednesday and Thursday.

He said the snow is set to ease on Friday, but some communities like Melfort could see as much snow as 34 cm.

Quinlan suggested that people should try to avoid travel on Wednesday if possible.
