The Alberta Clipper that has taken a single day to make its way across Alberta and Saskatchewan Tuesday will cross into Manitoba overnight. It’s expected to slowly pass through Southern Manitoba, and it will bring snow to the region until Thursday morning.
The snow will be heavy at times and a large swath of Southern Manitoba, stretching from the Saskatchewan border and southeast into Winnipeg can expect 10-15cm of snow.
The City of Winnipeg and surrounding area will be on the lower end of that range and residents here can expect closer to 10cm of snow. Meanwhile, to the west and northwest, especially in the higher elevations of the Escarpment, snowfall totals will approach 15cm.
An area that includes Swan River and Dauphin can anticipate even more snow as the Clipper will stall over this region for several hours and eventually leading to upwards of 20cm of accumulation.
Most of the rest of Southern Manitoba can expect 5-10cm before the snow dissipates early Thursday.
