Winnipeg, MB – As we head into the weekend, a cold front is making its way through the region, bringing with it a drop in temperatures and some potential snowfall.
According to meteorologist Colleen Bready, the cold front is expected to move through the area on Friday evening, bringing colder air from the north. This will result in a significant drop in temperatures, with highs only reaching -10°C on Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to the colder temperatures, there is also a chance of snowfall on Saturday. Bready predicts that the city could see anywhere from 2-5 cm of snow, with the potential for higher amounts in some areas.
While this may not be the most welcome news for those hoping for a mild winter, it is not uncommon for Winnipeg to experience cold fronts and snowfall at this time of year. In fact, the city has already seen several snowfalls and below-average temperatures this season.
Residents are advised to bundle up and take precautions against the cold weather, including wearing warm layers and limiting time spent outdoors. Drivers should also exercise caution on the roads, as the snowfall could make for slippery conditions.
Looking ahead, Bready says that the cold front is expected to move out of the region by Sunday evening, with temperatures gradually rising back to seasonal averages next week.
So, while we may have to endure a few days of colder weather and snow, it is important to remember that this is all part of living in a Canadian winter. Stay warm and stay safe, Winnipeg.
