Snowstorm To Affect Southern Manitoba Until Tuesday Morning

A look at warnings

A slow moving low pressure system now over southeast Saskatchewan is spreading an extensive area of snow across all of the southern Prairies from the Rockies into Southwest Manitoba. The area of snow will be spreading across the Red River valley this evening and after midnight. Snow will become heavy at times overnight and through Monday with 10 to 15cm possible by Monday morning in Winnipeg and higher amounts South and West of Winnipeg. That would include a possible 15 to 25cm of snow in those areas. Snow will continue Monday across Southern Manitoba before tapering off Monday Night into Tuesday. Snowfall warnings are in effect for much of the Southwest corner of Manitoba east through Steinbach but not including Winnipeg this is where amounts could reach a good 25cm of snow. 

Snowfall Amounts Forecast

For the Winnipeg region snow is expected to move in by midnight and start to intensify overnight. About 2 to 5cm of snow is possible by morning, so give yourself time to drive slowly and carefully during the morning commute. Snow will continue moderate to heavy throughout the day with another 10cm likely by the evening commute, so expect a slow drive home as well. Snow will completely clear out Monday Night through early Tuesday with another 5cm possible when it ends. 10 to 15cm of snow is likely in the Winnipeg region from Midnight through Tuesday Morning, with a potential for higher amounts if we get some stronger bands set up over us. Snowfall warnings could be expanded to include the Interlakes, Winnipeg, Whiteshell and Sprague regions if the storm moves further North than first forecast.
