The Province of Manitoba is warning that parts of the province could be hit with 30 to 80 centimetres of snow next week.

According to the province’s flood bulletin issued on Saturday, flood forecasters are monitoring a precipitation system expected to affect central and southern Manitoba, as well as the U.S. portions of the Manitoba basins, from April 12 to April 15.

This precipitation system is expected to bring 30 to 80 centimetres of snow, and could lead to a mix of snow and rain.

Temperatures are predicted to drop to below freezing by April 13 and will remain below freezing until April 19.

The province noted that runoff from this precipitation is not expected to begin until April 20.

Manitoba’s flood bulletin said that the Red River has peaked between Emerson and St. Adolphe.

However, due to ice jamming, a flood warning is in place for the Red River from St. Jean Baptiste to Morris, at St. Adolphe, and in the vicinity of Selkirk.
