Some Southeast Saskatchewan residents may have looked at the forecast for today and into the weekend and been puzzled.

Yesterday had cooler temperatures hanging around 7 C while today is expected to jump as high as 17 C before dipping back down to 4 C along with some vicious winds.

Sara Hoffman with Environment Canada said that there is a good explanation for the strange weather.

"An El Nino will form in central Alberta and it will head straight eastward into Saskatchewan. Just north of that there will be a band of very heavy snow but since it's moving quickly we are anticipating snowfall amounts to stay around the 10-to-20-centimetre range for central portions of Saskatchewan north of that low. Again, because it's moving quickly we will have a powerful cold front with that low which will swing through southern Saskatchewan and eventually into Estevan by quite early tomorrow morning."
