Winnipeg is in for many types of precipitation on Thursday, including snow, rain, and potential for freezing rain.

"Not much has changed since yesterday," said CMOS Accredited Weathercaster Chris Sumner. "This here today and gone today low-pressure system will pack some punch, but again, will not be as intense as the stronger system we saw last week."

According to Sumner, snowfall totals will increase west to east from the Saskatchewan to Ontario border. "A few centimeters in the southwest, potentially up to 5 cms in the Red River Valley, with the Southeast still in line for 5 to 10 cms. The bulk of the snow will fall prior to the dinner hour tonight, with a chance of flurries this evening."

He noted gusty winds remain the biggest weather-making factor, south up to 50 km/h for much of the day, before shifting northwesterly this evening up to 70 km/h.

"The combination of that freshly fallen snow, and gusty winds, will lead to blowing snow, so we can expect visibility concerns from a travel perspective later today."

Temperatures in Winnipeg are still expected to reach zero courtesy of that southerly flow.

In behind this system, high pressures build in briefly, and a colder air-mass slides southward, with highs Friday 20 to 25 degrees colder than Thursday around -18 to -21.

"Some recovery Saturday under a partly sunny sky, reaching -14 to -16, and then we shoot upward Sunday ahead of another Alberta clipper showing up the forecast models, potentially reaching above freezing for the day," added Sumner.

At this point, early estimates, are pegging snowfall totals in the five-centimeter range.

"It's still pretty early to say with certainty what the impacts of that Sunday system will be, but it does look like there is some potential for yet another blustery day," says Sumner.
