Buckle up, a change in the air is a-coming!
Though at the time of this posting the temperature in Brandon sits at an above seasonal -9 and the wind a barely discernible 4 km/hr an approaching front is set to change that in a big way.
According to a blowing snow advisory issued by Environment Canada winds are said to pickup this afternoon before reaching gusts of up to 70 km/hr this evening. The wind portion of the event is said to pass fairly quickly with the forecast calling for it to diminish after midnight and be “up to” 15 km/hr tomorrow.
In the advisory it’s noted that travel is expected to be hazardous with the accompanying snow that’s expected to fall.
With the wind will be a temp drop all the way back down to -28 tonight and a high of just -21 tomorrow. The curious optimist in me chooses to in stead focus on Sunday’s forecast high of -6 alongside snow.
Be safe and plan travel accordingly! So long as advisories or warnings are in place you can read about them on Environment Canada’s Manitoba watches, warnings, advisories page at https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/index_e.html?prov=mb and road info is at https://manitoba511.ca/en/
