Yellow Advisory - Blowing Snow
4:06 a.m. CST Sunday 28 December 2025

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Poor visibility in snow and blowing snow is expected in some locations.

Strong northwesterly winds combined with falling snow will lead to reduced visibilities in blowing snow this afternoon across the Red River Valley.

Visibilities will improve this evening as winds diminish.

In addition to the blowing snow, 5 to 10 cm of new snow is expected across the southern Red River Valley on Sunday.

Travel will likely be hazardous due to near-zero visibility.

Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.

Blowing snow advisories are issued when widespread poor visibility in blowing snow is expected.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to MBstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #MBStorm.
