Up to 15 centimetres of snow expected for southeast Manitoba by Monday morning

Brace yourselves, Manitoba.

Winnipeg and the southeast corner of the province are about to get hit with 10 to 15 centimetres of snow by Monday morning, according to Environment Canada, due to a low pressuresystem developing over southern Alberta Sunday morning.

A snowfall warning was issued for the following areas Sunday morning:

• Berens River Little Grand Rapids Bloodvein Atikaki
• Bissett Victoria Beach Nopiming Prov. Park Pine Falls
• City of Winnipeg
• Dugald Beausejour Grand Beach
• Morden Winkler Altona Morris
• Portage la Prairie Headingley Brunkild Carman
• Selkirk Gimli Stonewall Woodlands
• Sprague Northwest Angle Provincial Forest
• Steinbach St. Adolphe Emerson Vita Richer
• Whiteshell Lac du Bonnet Pinawa

Communities located further east are expected to receive the most snow, with higher amounts of 10 to 15 centimetres, whilecommunities located further to the west are expected to see between five to 10 centimetres of snow.

In addition, strong southerly winds gusting up to 60 km/h will develop by evening, which may createpoor visibility, the weather agency says.

The snowfall is expected to taper off starting Monday morning.

The same system will likely bring blizzard conditions to Churchill, beginning overnight on Monday, with winds of 50 km/h gusting to 70 km/h. That's prompted Environment Canada to issue a winter storm warning for the area.

Western Manitoba won't be spared, either.

As the clipper crosses from Saskatchewan, Westman can expect strong winds, reduced visibility and falling temperatures, leading to what Environment Canada is predicting will be an"unpleasant weather day."
