Busy graphic, but this morning's water vapour imagery illustrates well the dominant weather pattern across Canada. The Low pressure system that impacted Ontario is on the Gaspé Peninsula this morning. This strong Low is dragging dry air from the US West Coast and deserts across the continent all the way to Newfoundland! Moisture is also seen entering BC & AB, bringing warm temperatures across the Prairies and freezing rain warnings near Edmonton this morning. Chaos around Hudson Bay as they are about to be blasted by and conditions as the Low pressure system occludes in the area.

A warm front moving across the Prairies will bring a shot of warm temperatures tomorrow (Dec 30th). This will be short-lived for Manitoba as cold Arctic air floods the province on New Year's Eve & Day. The upcoming weather pattern will favour above-seasonal temperatures for parts of southern Alberta going into 2026.

Here are today's expected wind gusts for the RRV. With the freshly fallen snow and peak wind gusts up to 60km/h, expect blowing snow reducing visibility to 1/2 to 3/4SM in snow showers and blowing snow in Winnipeg and surrounding areas between 9am - 2pm CST. Expect the Trans-Canada Hwy conditions to be impacted as well as any other west-east hwys across the RRV. Conditions will improve after 3pm CST today. For these reasons, a blowing snow advisory has been issued from ECCC this morning.

⚠️ BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY ⚠️
4:06 AM CST Sunday 28 December 2025

Impact Level: Moderate
Forecast Confidence: High
Locations: Red River Valley

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.
