Future Weather Impacts
Attention is drawn to an incoming Alberta clipper system set to affect Southern Manitoba late Saturday evening through Sunday. This system will bring additional snowfall and strong winds.
According to Chris Sumner, a CMOS Accredited Weathercaster, motorists should prepare for conditions similar to those experienced from Friday night into Saturday. Reduced visibility due to blowing snow is likely to recur.
