Winter storm warnings were issued across southern Manitoba on Monday morning.

In Winnipeg, there’s a chance of snow or freezing drizzle early in the day on Monday. That snow will start to increase overnight Monday, becoming heavy.

Between 15 and 30 centimetres of snow could fall overnight, and then blowing snow will make driving treacherous as winds kick up to between 50 and 60 kilometres per hour.

The blowing snow will continue over Tuesday.

Environment Canada advises postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.

On Wednesday, the snow should start to die out. There’s a 60 per cent chance of flurries.

After Wednesday, the skies will start to clear, and minus double-digit temperatures will arrive in force by Friday in Winnipeg as cold arctic air moves in. Lows below -20 Celsius will feel like -30 C or -35 C with the wind chill.

We could get some more flurries on Saturday as well.
