Visibility on the highways in Southern Manitoba including Winnipeg will be greatly reduced Thursday evening and overnight due to high winds. 

"We're expecting hazardous travel conditions tonight as the winds start to pick up and blow the snow around again," says Jesse Wagar with Environment Canada. 

Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba had between five and 10 centimetres of snow on Thursday morning, and the wind will be blowing it around causing reduced visibility. 

"A blowing snow advisory has been issued for the Red River Valley and the Winnipeg area. Those conditions will likely extend into the rush hour tomorrow morning before the winds start to weaken."

Wind gusts could reach up to 70 km/hour.

"Take it nice and slow. If anybody does have to go out, people should be sure to bring an emergency kit with them."

The colder temperatures are thanks to a low-pressure system that is now exiting the province. 

"Behind this system, temperatures are starting to plummet to minus 20 to minus 25 range tonight but with those strong winds it'll feel more like minute 35 mark."

As of right now, the weekend has very similar temperatures hovering around -22 degrees. 

"We may see a bit of a reprieve early next week, but only within that - 10 to -15 degree range," says Wagar.
