Just when it seemed spring had arrived, winter has once again tightened its grip on the Prairies.

A spring storm will make its way through Saskatchewan and western Manitoba on Tuesday, bringing 10 to 20 centimetres of snow with it.

A snowfall warning has been issued for parts of western Manitoba, including Dauphin, Roblin, Neepawa and Russell.

Wet snow will begin falling Tuesday morning for parts of eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba. It will intensify throughout the day and continue through Tuesday evening before tapering off Wednesday morning.

Environment Canada says snowfall accumulations will fluctuate throughout the area. However, areas over higher terrain are expected to receive the highest amount of snow. 

Winnipeg will get hit by the tail end of the system, with 5 to 10 mm of rain falling in the area. The rain will begin this afternoon and continue through the evening, with a high of 13°C.  

Looking ahead, the temperature will drop for much of the province on Wednesday, with just a high of 9°C. The rest of the week and weekend will return to normal or above normal temperatures.
