Snowfall warnings issued in northern Sask.

A large portion of northern Saskatchewan is under a snowfall warning.

Environment Canada issued warnings Wednesday morning for the La Ronge, Ile a la Crosse, Pelican Narrows and Southend areas.

“A low pressure system will move across Saskatchewan bringing with it fresh snow,” the weather agency said.

Forecasts in the region called for 10 to 15 centimetres of snow throughout the day, with snowfall expected to slow Wednesday night.

Wind gusts were forecasted to reach 60 kilometres an hour in some northern Saskatchewan areas.
