All highways out of Regina and Saskatoon are reporting various winter conditions Tuesday, as a winter storm makes its way through eastern and central parts of Saskatchewan.
Winter storm and snowfall warnings remained in effect Tuesday across the province as a low-pressure system moving through is expected to bring an additional five to 15 centimetres of snow in both the Regina and Saskatoon areas on Tuesday, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
Another two to five centimetres is expected Tuesday night for many regions, as ECCC says the system will start to weaken.
Highways out of Regina were reporting covered conditions with drifting snow, slush, and ice around 7 a.m. Tuesday. Travel was also not recommended on several highways, including the Trans-Canada between Balgonie and Qu'Appelle and the Regina bypass.
Roads out of Saskatoon and the surronding area were reporting similar conditions.
Visibility was being reported as poor, reduced, or good depending on location.
