Southern Manitoba could see freezing rain, snow Sunday: Environment Canada
Low-pressure system from Alberta making its way east, special weather statement says
Parts of southern Manitoba could see freezing rain and snow this weekend as a low-pressure system from Alberta is expected to move eastward, Environment Canada says.
Freezing rain is expected to hit parts of southwest Manitoba early on Sunday morning and move east across the province, Environment Canada said in a special weather statement Saturday morning.
Heavy snow north of the freezing rain is also expected to spread from western Manitoba to the Interlake.
However, the alert said there is "significant uncertainty" with the system due to "a range in weather model solutions regarding timing, temperature, and location."
Slight changes in temperature could impact what type of precipitation will fall Sunday, Environment Canada said.
As of late Saturday morning, the alert covered all of southern Manitoba and most of the Interlake region. In the west, it extended as far north as the northern end of Lake Winnipegosis.
The latest updates will be available on Environment Canada's website. The latest road conditions on Manitoba highways can be found on the province's 511 website.
