An Alberta clipper will bring rapidly changing weather conditions with strong winds, rain changing to snow and quickly falling temperatures to parts of western Manitoba on Sunday.

Showers will begin in Westman Saturday evening along an approaching cold front. Behind this cold front temperatures will fall below the freezing mark and snow will begin to move in from Saskatchewan overnight into Sunday morning. Strong winds will also accompany the snow causing reduced visibility.

Hazardous travel conditions are forecast to begin Sunday morning and last through the day Sunday. Icy conditions will also develop as temperatures drop below the zero-degree mark, causing wet surfaces to freeze by Sunday morning.

• City of Brandon
• Mun. of Glenboro-South Cypress incl. Treesbank
• Mun. of Norfolk Treherne
