The weather across the far north of Ontario is being contrasted by the weather in Churchill Manitoba as a Winter Storm Warning is in effect.
Winter storm warning in effect for:
- Churchill
A developing storm system approaching from Saskatchewan will continue to spread a mix of wintery weather into this northern Manitoba today.
Snow and freezing rain will continue to spread across northernmost Manitoba and reach Churchill by midday. Snow will be heavy at times with accumulations of 10 to 20 cm forecast by the time it tapers off Sunday evening.
An organized swath of freezing rain will accompany the heavy snow. The bulk of the freezing rain should fall south of the communities of Tadoule Lake, Lac Brochet, and Churchill, but some freezing rain could occur throughout the regions today.
Strong northeasterly winds, mainly along the Hudson Bay coast, will give poor visibilities in blowing snow at times today and tonight.
