24hrs temperature outlook for Prairies

Surface analysis 12Z Sat Dec 7 2019. Temperatures in F and cold fronts displayed in blue.

A few clipper-type systems are moving through the Prairies this morning, bringing some mixed precipitation and freezing rain to parts of Manitoba. The clipper in northern Manitoba, displayed above, will bring a cold front through today across Saskatchewan and Manitoba, which will drop temperatures in the -30C for parts of Manitoba. However, the second cold front, seen above over northern Canada, is the one that will bring a multi-day Arctic wave of extreme cold temperatures for MB/SK.
