==DISCUSSION==
SNOWFALL WITH TOTAL AMOUNTS OF 10 TO 15 CM IS EXPECTED.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING IN FROM MONTANA WILL RESULT IN HEAVY
SNOWFALL TODAY FOR PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN SASKATCHEWAN AND
SOUTHWESTERN MANITOBA. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE AND RADAR TRENDS
INDICATE HEAVY SNOWFALL IS LIKELY WITH GENERALLY 8-12 CM FALLING BY
SUNDAY MORNING. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 15 CM ARE POSSIBLE OVER
THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN THE MOOSE MOUNTAINS, AND RIDING MOUNTAINS.
SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS WILL ALSO BE A HAZARD WITH THIS SYSTEM AS
COLD AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT TONIGHT,
CREATING ICY ROAD CONDITIONS SUNDAY MORNING.
SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF LATE THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS THE LOW
WEAKENS AND MOVES INTO EASTERN MANITOBA.
BE PREPARED TO ADJUST YOUR DRIVING WITH CHANGING ROAD CONDITIONS.
PREPARE FOR QUICKLY CHANGING AND DETERIORATING TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
RAPIDLY ACCUMULATING SNOW COULD MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT OVER SOME
LOCATIONS. VISIBILITY MAY BE SUDDENLY REDUCED AT TIMES IN HEAVY
SNOW. SURFACES SUCH AS HIGHWAYS, ROADS, WALKWAYS AND PARKING LOTS
MAY BECOME DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE DUE TO ACCUMULATING SNOW.
