A snowfall warning is back in place for areas in southwestern Manitoba.

Environment Canada advises 10 to 15 centimetres of snow is on its way beginning overnight Saturday and continuing throughout Sunday.

The warnings were put in place for the following areas:

  • Brandon – Neepawa – Carberry – Treherne
  • Killarney – Pilot Mound – Manitou
  • Melita – Boissevain – Turtle Mountain Provincial Park
  • Morden – Winkler – Altona – Morris
  • Virden – Souris

The clipper system, which the weather service says is taking shape over Montana, will be moving west to east, and should come to an end Sunday night.

Heavier snowfall up to 15 centimetres is expected south of the Trans-Canada Highway, and could possibly reach 20 centimetres in some places.
