Freezing rain warnings have been issued for parts of southwestern Saskatchewan.

A band of freezing rain is expected to create slippery conditions on roads in the area, Environment Canada said Monday.

The freezing rain is expected to taper off in the afternoon as the storm slowly moves southeast into the U.S.

Swift Current, Kindersley, Leader, Shaunavon and Assiniboia were among the communities under freezing rain warnings.
