Colorado low in forecast

Share

A Colorado low could dump a significant amount of snow and cause travel disruption in parts of southern Manitoba this week, according to forecasters.

As of Sunday, the forecast was predicting 10-20 centimetres of snow Tuesday and Wednesday, with more snow possible Thursday and Friday, said Scott Kehler, president and chief scientist of Weatherlogics.

The highest snowfall totals will likely be closer to the Canada-U.S. border, with “gradually lower amounts as you move north,” depending on how long the storm stalls over the region, he said.

Winnipeg could receive 10-15 cm, said Kehler.

Manitoba is on the north side of the low-pressure system, which is tracking northeastward from Colorado into the Dakotas and Minnesota.

A slight change in the track could push heavier snow further north or south, said Kehler.

Environment Canada meteorologist Rose Carlsen said the latest models suggest the storm will be more problematic for residents of U.S. states that border Manitoba.
