As of early afternoon, Wednesday, December 28, 2022, freezing rain is occurring in Westman including the city of Brandon.
A band of intense precipitation tracking through the area this afternoon is falling as rain. Near surface air temperatures in the minus single digits is resulting in rain freezing on contact. Freezing rain may be mixed with or intermittent with freezing drizzle, ice pellets or snow at times.
The band of precipitation will exit the area later this afternoon.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Ice build-up may cause tree branches to break.
Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to MBstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #MBStorm.
The warning is expected to end later this evening.
