Updated! Here We Are Again! Another Significant Storm To Affect Southern Manitoba Today Through Monday

After a long period of calm and tranquil weather, we will now be experiencing another winter storm that will be testing the patience of all Manitoban's. Our winter storm will be thank's to an area of low pressure that will be moving through Montana into Minnesota Today through Monday, bringing another wave of snow through Southern Manitoba. Snow has already spread into Southwestern Manitoba as of this morning and is expected to spread eastwards as the day goes on, reaching the Red River Valley this afternoon through evening and regions of Eastern Manitoba tonight. 


 Snow is expected to intensify tonight with snowfall amounts of 10+cm likely in the Winnipeg region by Monday Morning, with 15 to 30cm possible through the regions of Southwest Manitoba and the interlake regions where snowfall warnings are in place. Numerous watches and warnings are in place for all Southern Manitoba including a snowfall warning and a blizzard warning. As the system moves out strong northerly winds of 60 to 70 km/h will develop on the backside of this system combining with freshly fallen snow and blowing snow will create blizzard conditions for much of the Red River Valley, Monday Morning. Blizzard conditions will be less likely in the rest of Southern Manitoba Monday morning. The storm will make travel quite difficult throughout regions of Southern Manitoba as a result motorists are advised to make alternate plans or travel slowly to get to your destination especially outside of towns and cities on highways.

Consider Consulting the Manitoba Highways Website and also The Weather Network Road Conditions

Colder and Drier Weather will develop once the system moves out leaving us with hopefully the last cold blast of the season. Make sure to stay tuned for updates in the comment section.
