Blowing snow advisories from Environment Canada have been issued for much of the province including the Humboldt and Watrous areas. The advisories extend westward into Alberta as a low-pressure system tracks eastward across the province. 

Northwest winds gusting up to 80 km/h will combine with falling snow to cause poor visibility starting this afternoon or this evening.  Above-zero temperatures may delay the onset of blowing snow until later this evening or overnight.

Conditions will improve by Friday morning as winds weaken and snow tapers off.
