This is a Manitoba Emergency Alert. The Hydrologic Forecast Centre has issued a wind alert for Southern Manitoba, along the South Basin of Lake Manitoba as well as the shorelines near Gimli on the west side and Victoria Beach on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. Northwest winds gusting up to 70 kilometres per hour are expected to develop Friday morning and last until Saturday afternoon, which may raise levels by as much as five feet or more.
Be watchful as these winds can result in significant and forceful wave action on shorelines and cause damage to homes and buildings. Property owners in the affected area should take all necessary precautions to stay safe.
Snowfall with total amounts of 10 to 15 cm is expected.
Hazards: Total snowfall amounts around 10-15 cm.
Timing: Today into Friday night.
Discussion: A strong low pressure system is currently bringing heavy precipitation to much of southern Manitoba today. While most areas have experienced heavy rainfall, the rain has changed over to heavy snow over parts of western Manitoba. Accumulation totals will vary across regions, with areas of higher terrain seeing more. The snow and rain will taper off throughout Friday night.
Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #MBStorm.
