More snow on the way; 5-10 cm expected Easter weekend
It could end up being a very white Easter for southern Manitoba.
Natalie Hasell with Environment Canada says they are tracking a system that could drop between 5 and 10 centimetres of snow on the Red River Valley.
Hasell explains there is a low-pressure system currently sitting over southern Alberta. There is also a trough that extends to a low-pressure system sitting in Montana. Hasell says that trough of low pressure will move across the prairies, arriving in Manitoba by Friday.
"So that's where the snow is coming from," she says.
Flood threat remains slim across Manitoba basins
The risk of flooding this spring remains low for the Red River and its tributaries.
That is according to Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure's Hydrologic Forecast Centre, which released its March Flood Outlook Report on Tuesday. The report indicates a low-to-moderate risk of significant spring flooding across Manitoba basins.
