An Alberta clipper is heading for Saskatchewan, bringing gusting winds, heavy wet snow and freezing rain, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

The system is expected to move into the province Thursday morning and could dump as much as 20 centimetres of snow across much of central Saskatchewan from Saskatoon to Yorkton.

"It's going to make for some pretty nasty travel conditions," said Danielle Desjardins, a meteorologist with ECCC.
