Powerful low to impact eastern Prairie provinces

Some winter weather is on the way to the eastern Prairies on Tuesday.

An area of low pressure approaching from the western United States will bring rain, snow, and freezing rain to eastern areas of Saskatchewan this afternoon and overnight.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba will see snow. As the low moves north it will bring warmer air with it. As a result, the precipitation across Manitoba will likely start as rain or freezing rain.

Colder air will quickly regain control on Tuesday and change the rain to heavy snow.

On Tuesday, gusty winds will also develop.

Across eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba, snowfall accumulations of 15 to 30 cm are likely.
