You won't want to put away your winter coat, or change your snow tires just yet. Two cold fronts are passing through the region, bringing below average temperatures and snow through the weekend. Environment Canada Warning Preparedness Meteorologist Natalie Hasell says on top of some snow, we could also see periods where winds reach 80 kilometres per hour, leading to poor driving conditions.

"We're not talking about lots of snow that you're going to need to shovel out or anything, but if you need to travel tonight, maybe consider if you can reschedule or if it's even necessary to travel at all. The combination of snow and wind will make road conditions really quite difficult."

She says temperatures will begin to warm up early next week, with a forecasted high of 11 on Tuesday. However, Hasell says based on climate data, we're not going to be out of the woods any time soon.

"Southern Manitoba could easily see snow into the first week of May. April is not a safe month, even if we had a rather warm March over most of southern Manitoba. We're still looking at near normal or above normal temperatures on average, but we're still going to see this variability and this freeze-thaw cycle continue."

For the weekend's weather, Hasell says it's important to be careful if you're travelling, and to ensure you have an emergency kit in your vehicle, in the event you become stranded.
