SUNDAY: TEMPERATURES REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL, SNOW WILL EASE OFF IN THE EVENING
Most of the Prairies will see chilly temperatures well below zero on Sunday, thanks to a shot of cold air from the Arctic.
Along with the cold air, snow will be widespread as a low-pressure system tracks across the region.
The heaviest snowfall totals will be along a stretch of central Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Between 20 to 30 cm of snow will accumulate through these central areas, while southern regions will see around 5-10 cm.
The risk for freezing rain and ice pellets will be the greater threat for southern Manitoba. Sunday could be a little icy on the Trans-Canada Highway across Manitoba and northwestern Ontario.
MONDAY AND BEYOND: WARMER TEMPERATURES RETURN BEFORE ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD AIR
The colder weather will continue into the start of next week, but with a warming trend back to above seasonal conditions returning for the middle next week before another blast of cold air settles in for the weekend.
