Temperatures will be climbing towards the freezing mark tonight especially in areas along the American Border. The milder weather however has already introduced freezing rain and/or ice pellets into Southwest Manitoba, and that will continue overnight as the low pressure system moves into the region from Saskatchewan. The area of freezing rain is expected to move east and northeast as the night moves on, affecting regions mainly north and west of Winnipeg. As a result of the conditions Freezing Rain Warnings are in Effect for Southwest and Central Manitoba. What about the rest of Southern Manitoba? Areas of the Red River Valley in and around Winnipeg, and points East will see a chance of getting freezing rain as it advances Eastwards, although greater probability exists further West and into the interlakes. The system is expected to move out by tomorrow morning leaving behind remaining freezing drizzle then mainly overcast skies by afternoon, temperaturewise will be sitting in the minus single digits as a cool NW flow will be in place.

Make sure you drive carefully when out on the highway's throughout the weekend, I don't like hearing about injured drivers in these kinds of weather conditions. So take it easy and keep yourself and others on the road safe!
