A STRONG WINTER STORM IS POISED TO AFFECT SOUTHERN MANITOBA THIS

AND EVEN A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER.
SNOW WILL BEGIN IN SOUTHERN MANITOBA ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. ON SATURDAY NIGHT, SNOW MAY CHANGE TO FREEZING RAIN AND
RAIN IN SOUTHEAST PARTS OF THE PROVINCE INCLUDING THE RED RIVER
VALLEY. WHERE THE PRECIPITATION REMAINS SNOW, LIKELY WEST OF THE RED
RIVER VALLEY, SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS COULD OCCUR, WITH UP TO 40
CM POSSIBLE.
STRONG WINDS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WILL GIVE LOW VISIBILITY IN
BLOWING SNOW. UNNECESSARY TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM IS UNCERTAIN AND, AS A RESULT, THE
LOCATION OF THE SNOW, FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN IS UNCERTAIN AND WILL
BECOME MORE CLEAR AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES.
THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT OF THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT.
