Weather Journal for March 3rd

Current Conditions

Expect a mix of sun and cloud on Sunday with a mild high of -2. I'm still tracking a very unpredictable situation for Monday. It's a snowy system that could hit southern Manitoba with enough snow to get out the shovels - or - miss us completely. The computer models are really flip-flopping on the track of this clipper. The latest run this morning now suggests it will miss southern Manitoba and head through southern Sask and into the Dakotas. There is a lot of uncertainty regarding this one but if it does hit us, it will be a fairly significant snowfall on Monday along with some wind. I do see a strong surface high along the Hudson Bay coast on Monday that could be the feature that keeps the weather to the south (blocking pattern).
