Special Weather Statement Issued
Environment Canada(Locations listed below description)
A wintery mix of precipitation is expected for southern manitoba beginning friday and lasting into sunday.
Another colorado low will cross the northern plains starting early friday bringing periods of snow and freezing drizzle to southern manitoba. The mix of precipitation will begin in the southwest spreading eastward throughout the morning. There will be the potential for prolonged periods of freezing drizzle leading to icy conditions on sidewalks and roadways, though exact timing and duration remain uncertain at this time. This mix of precipitation will continue through late saturday in most areas.
Precipitation will then shift over to mainly snow by late saturday as the system tracks across the dakotas. Current indications have the heaviest snow and strongest winds in the united states. However, areas along the international border and escarpment may see snowfall totals by sunday morning exceed 10 cm along with reduced visibilities in blowing snow. The system will depart the area entirely by midday sunday.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by environment canada. To report severe weather, send an email to mbstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #mbstorm.
