A late‑season snowfall is moving across southern Manitoba, with the heaviest accumulations expected along the Saskatchewan border while Winnipeg sees only light, short‑lived flakes. Environment and Climate Change Canada says snow will continue through the day in the southwest, affecting communities such as Brandon, Portage la Prairie, and areas up toward Riding Mountain National Park.
What’s Driving the System
- A broad band of moisture is tracking east out of Saskatchewan.
- Temperatures are hovering near freezing, allowing snow to accumulate more easily in western regions.
- Lighter precipitation and slightly warmer conditions around Winnipeg are limiting totals there.
Regional Impact Snapshot
- Southwestern Manitoba: Steadier snow and higher totals, with reduced visibility at times.
- Winnipeg: Light snow that may melt quickly.
- Border communities: Greatest accumulation and longest duration of snowfall. Possibly 10 – 15 cms.
- Winnipeg will get the tail end of the system which should fade out by Tuesday.
