A low-pressure system from Alberta has already begun making its way into Saskatchewan and towards Manitoba. Overnight tonight, snow and freezing rain will develop in Eastern Saskatchewan, and it will continue until late Sunday morning as the system continues to push eastwards.
In Manitoba, the precipitation will begin later, starting in the morning on Sunday and it is expected to continue throughout most of the day. Less than 5mm of ice accretion is expected, but a large part of Western Manitoba will be affected.

Snowfall amounts will be more widespread in Manitoba than in Saskatchewan with considerably higher totals. In particular, the Interlake Region and east of Lake Winnipeg could see over 10cm of snow by the end of the day Sunday.

Similar to Manitoba, total ice accretion in Saskatchewan will be less than 5mm, however, this will be enough to make surfaces slippery if left untreated and there is the potential for broken tree branches.

Snowfall amounts in Saskatchewan will mostly remain less than 5cm except for an area around Hudson Bay, where up to 10cm could fall. The freezing rain will fall further south of the snow and some areas may see a mix of both snow and freezing rain.
