Snowfall warning issued for parts of Manitoba

While most of southern Manitoba is enjoying warm weather Tuesday afternoon the seasons could switch to winter very quickly.

Environment Canada has now issued a snowfall warning for parts of western Manitoba including Russell, Minnedosa, Dauphin, and Riding Mountain areas.

A cold front pushing in from Saskatchewan will bring some rain, snow and cooler temperatures to these regions tonight and Wednesday.

Environment Canada says most areas should expect only a few centimetres of snow. However, cooler temperatures at the higher elevations in the Riding Mountains will lead to snowfall accumulations of 10 to 15 centimetres.

Travel outside of the Riding Mountains may be affected as well at times due to poor visibilities in snow and near freezing conditions.

Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
