Yet another winter storm is headed for Manitoba over the weekend, prompting Environment Canada to issue snowfall warnings for parts of southern Manitoba as up to 15 to 25 cm of snow is expected.
Snow will begin overnight Saturday in western Manitoba and move into eastern sections of the province by Sunday.
For most regions, snow accumulation will taper off Sunday night, but light snow may persist in eastern areas through Monday.
As of 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23, regions under the warning include:
- R.M. of Wallace-Woodworth, including Virden, Elkhorn, and Kenton
- R.M. of Pipestone, including Oak Lake
- Grand Rapids and Waterhen
- Dauphin, Russell, Roblin, and Winnipegosis
- Minnedosa and Riding Mountain National Park
- Ste. Rose, McCreary, Alonsa, and Gladstone
- Swan River, Duck Mountain, and Porcupine Provincial Forest
Environment Canada says the warning may be extended to include regions eastward through the Interlake as the storm progresses.
Currently, Steinbach is forecasted to receive just 2 to 4 cm of snow by the end of Sunday.
