Some snow could come down overnight on Tuesday for the first time this season.

With the first week of November here, there's a chance the southeast will be seeing its first snow soon with a system looming overhead.

That's coming through the area tomorrow, bringing with it a shock of cold air which will hit the area the day after.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Danielle Desjardins says that while the southeast isn't the main target it will still see some aftereffects.

"We have a little low-pressure system tracking through extreme southern Saskatchewan. It's mostly going to impact the southwest, but there's going to be some showers and maybe a chance of mixed precipitation later Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday."

The precipitation could even end up settling as snow over the southeast though Desjardins says that's not going to be significant.

"It doesn't look like it's going to be terrible with respect to accumulating snow, but we could see a little bit of a mix overnight as the temperatures dip below zero."

After the midpoint of the week skies should clear up with temperatures getting back to normal.

"The rest of the week looks like the warm trend continues. So we're going to see temperatures climb well above normal again for the year, highs in the high single digits even maybe reaching the low double digits normal for this time of year, maximum of three degrees, minimum -8, so quite a bit warmer than the average."

As the temperature drops and precipitation is incoming Desjardins reminds people to keep a close eye on the road this season.

"With this this little bit of mixed precipitation coming in, of course, be careful on the roads, they may become slippery, especially if the temperatures are below zero."
