An Alberta Clipper has already begun to move into the region, bringing rain and some mixed precipitation along the leading edge. The rain will transition over the snow this evening and overnight as it moves southeastward.
The snow will continue to be steady throughout the day Friday, with the heaviest snow falling over a swath from Virden, through Dauphin and Beren’s River, to the Ontario border during the morning.
The area can expect snowfall totals exceeding 15cm and approaching 20cm with the possibility of locally higher amounts.
By the late afternoon and into the evening, the heaviest band of snow will move into the Winnipeg area and Southeast Manitoba where closer to 10cm of snow is expected.
The snow will continue to move southeast overnight and into Saturday and will completely leave the region by early to mid-morning Saturday. Strong wind gusts of up to 70km/h are also expected which will greatly reduce visibility with blowing snow.
