A LATE SEASON WINTER STORM IS POISED TO IMPACT SOUTHERN MANITOBA

ALTHOUGH MANY LOCATIONS THROUGH SOUTHERN MANITOBA EXPERIENCED
PLEASANT SPRING WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER
TEENS, BEGINNING OVERNIGHT, THE WEATHER WILL SEE A STARK SHIFT WITH
A WINTERY MIX IMPULSE PASSING THROUGH.
THE HIGHEST CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS THE FREEZING RAIN RISK ALONG

UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SYSTEM AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS FREEZING RAIN
WILL BE PATCHY IN NATURE OR IF IT WILL BE A MORE ORGANIZED AREA OF
FREEZING RAIN.
WESTERN AND CENTRAL MANITOBA WILL LIKELY SEE PRIMARILY SNOW, WITH
ACCUMULATIONS OF GENERALLY 4 TO 8 CM.
