Snowy Start to the Week Across Southern Manitoba With Up to 10-15cm of Snowfall Accumulation by Monday Afternoon

A stronger than expected system is currently affecting Southwestern Manitoba as of Sunday afternoon and will continue to sweep across Southern Manitoba through the evening and into early Monday. Snowfall will taper off sometime during the morning or afternoon on Monday as the snow moves into Minnesota and Northern Ontario.

As far as accumulation, general amounts will range from 6-12cm through the Interlakes region and into Winnipeg. Lowers totals in the southwestern corner of the province including Brandon with between 2-6cm of accumulation possible. We’re noticing a small zone just to the northwest of Winnipeg that has the potential to see over 15cm of snowfall accumulation from this system in areas such as Dauphin, Eriksdale and Selkirk.

We continue to monitor the potential for a snowstorm on Tuesday into Wednesday across Southern Manitoba. Models are quite consistent with this storm putting a swath of 15-25cm of snow extending from Brandon through to Winnipeg, but there is still some time for that to change. We’ll have a preliminary forecast out either Sunday evening or during the day on Monday once we are confident in the exact track of this system.
