While it is a far cry from the wintry scene that will take over northern Saskatchewan over Easter, the Humboldt area will still experience some changes in the weather pattern.

Gusting winds have made their way into the region, which will bring about the change in temperatures, says Environment Canada's John Paul Cragg.

"It's very windy right now and these winds will continue into the evening, start to drop off and then pick up again," he explained. "All of this is because of a low moving up from Montana into the province."

Cragg says that it will be much cooler than we have seen over the past little while.

"Right now you have warm air being pulled up from the states and that is fuelling this low-pressure system that is going to be moving into central Saskatchewan," he noted. "In behind is that cold arctic air that is going to be streaming back down into the province."

"Low-pressure systems feed off the temperature difference between colder northern air and warmer southern air."

Temperatures will drop to below zero at night, with close to minus-10 expected overnight on Saturday. That will continue somewhat throughout Sunday, with a high of just two degrees on the way.

Cragg says that although there will be a chance of seeing some snow, it will be nothing major.

"It's definitely going to get cold enough for a few flakes to fall. With the system pulling out late Saturday, you might see a few flakes fall," he said. "With flurries, we're not talking about anything accumulating on the ground. With the warm air we have had, nothing is going to stick."

He added that normal conditions for this time of year will resume following the weekend. For the Humboldt area, that is an average daily high of nine.
