Thursday, April 6th, 2023:
All previous advisories, including the blowing snow advisory, have ended.
Original story:
A blowing snow advisory has been issued for three western Manitoba regions.
Blowing and falling snow continue to make visibility an issue in the following areas:
- Ste. Rose - McCreary - Alonsa - Gladstone
- Minnedosa - Riding Mountain National Park
- Brandon - Neepawa - Carberry - Treherne
Strong winds have developed in western Manitoba, as a Colorado Low tracks over Northwestern Ontario. Wind gusts reaching up to 60 km/h are expected this afternoon.
Blowing snow advisories are issued when winds are expected to create blowing snow giving poor visibility to 800 meters or less for at least 3 hours. Conditions are expected to improve as the wind diminishes this evening.
