On Monday morning Environment Canada issued a "special weather statement" preparing residents for the first real taste of the Winter season.

"The first accumulating snow of the season is likely Tuesday night and Wednesday across southeast Saskatchewan as a storm system takes shape to the south. Precipitation is expected to begin Tuesday morning as rain but will steadily transition over to wet snow Tuesday evening and continue into Wednesday. Current computer models have backed the rain and snow boundary slightly to the west so extreme southeastern areas of the province may stay as rain into Wednesday morning."

That being said, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist John-Paul Cragg explains the Humboldt region might be alright.

"There's going to be a Colorado low moving across the States and into northwestern Ontario affecting Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan. Up in the Humboldt area it looks like you're going to be just be right on the edge of the precipitation so right now it looks like Humboldt itself won't see much of that snow."

That being said, the pattern is still a fair distance away so that could change.

"We're still a ways away from the precipitation falling and the models could be off a little bit on the track of this low," Cragg explained. "If the low moves a little bit further west, a little bit further north Humboldt could be in that area of snowfall."

The accumulation is expected to be in the 5-10 centimetre range but Cragg doesn't expect any of it to stick around.

"We're looking at temperatures just getting above the zero mark all week this week and it looks next week could be even warmer. A little bit of a warm up coming into next week where temperatures are up around maybe the four or five degree mark for a daytime high on average."
