It looks as though Saskatchewan isn’t out of the (snowcapped) woods just yet when it comes to winter weather.

Some Saskatchewan communities are expected to see 10 to 15 centimetres of snow through Thursday and part of Friday, Environment Canada says.

The province's southwestern corner is not included in the warnings. Regina and Saskatoon, however, are included. Regina and some nearby communities are likely to get the most snow, in the 20-centimetre range, though Wagar forecasts most communities won't exceed 15 centimetres. The snowfall is expected to intensify in Regina Thursday night and taper off Friday morning, Wagar said. The cities are expected to get 10 to 20 centimetres of snow by Friday afternoon, but won't be hit by the same weather intensity experienced in February, Environment Canada says. Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning that spans southern and central Saskatchewan, cautioning up to 20 centimetres of snow could fall in some areas.
