An Alberta Clipper is moving through Saskatchewan bringing with it strong winds today.

"We name some low-pressure systems based on where they are formed," explains Natalie Hasell, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist, Environment Canada.

"Today we are talking about an Alberta Clipper because it forms in the foothills of the Alberta Province and can come from even as far south as Montana and still be called an Alberta Clipper."

Hasell adds that we tend to call Alberta Clippers, Clippers because compared to other low-pressure systems such as the Mackenzie Lows and Colorado Lows, they tend to be fast-moving and get "Clipped" across the province.

This is the time of year where low-pressure systems are common.

"Some of them relatively deep and therefore powerful or impactful."

Hasell also explained how this Alberta Clipper brings with it 50 km hour winds to 80 km per hour. 90 km/hour winds start to be the damaging level of winds with shingles and branches being broken.

"We could see some local breeze gusts in excess of 90 km/hr today in Southeastern Saskatchewan but most of the gusts are going to stay in the 80 km/hr winds."

There could be some snow this afternoon but not high amounts. However Hasell warns that the wind and the snow together can lead to poor visibility on the roads.

Warmer and above normal weather is expected in Weyburn the next few days but will freeze over night making icy road conditions.
