An Alberta clipper system is expected to bring up to 15 centimetres of snow to Yorkton and other areas of east central Saskatchewan on Wednesday.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued snowfall warnings for Yorkton and Melville and other surrounding areas.

“Gusty winds accompanying the snowfall will cause reduced visibility at times due to blowing snow. The snowfall is expected to taper off on Wednesday afternoon and evening,” ECCC said on its website.
