SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT: A significant spring storm is set to bring a mix of rain and heavy snow to portions of southern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba on Tuesday night through Thursday this week. Total snowfall amounts will likely be in the 10 to 20 cm range by the time the system departs late week, however, as is the case with many late season significant storms, forecasting this system has proved to be quite a challenge. There remains to be uncertainties with the evolution of this system, ranging from timing the onset of rain turning to snow, snowfall totals, and the corridor of heaviest snowfall. In general, various model guidance remains muddled, with little in the way of a consensus of areas affected and total precipitation amounts. Rain mixed with snow will move into the region on Tuesday afternoon with precipitation fully transitioning to snow overnight on Tuesday. The heaviest snowfall will begin to fall early Wednesday morning. Total accumulations of all types of precipitation may exceed 20 mm for some areas, greatly exacerbating the flood situation for some regions. The highest confidence for the heaviest precipitation lies over eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba, roughly from Regina to the Manitoba Parklands. The greatest uncertainty lies over western Saskatchewan, west of Regina, and the eastern Red River Valley. Gusty winds will also be a concern, in addition to the snow, with moderate to strong easterly winds leading to poor travel conditions, particularly on Wednesday. Snowfall or winter storm watches and warnings will likely be forthcoming for some regions as the event draws nearer and the evolution of the low pressure system in the United States becomes more clear. LOOK AT ALL THAT BLUE!!!

BUDWEISER RESCUE? Anheuser-Busch is attempting to get back in the good graces of customers with a new Budweiser ad following the Dylan Mulvaney backlash. Anheuser-Busch has been under intense pressure ever since Bud Light decided to team up with Mulvaney, a biological man who seems to enjoy mocking womanhood and what it means to be a girl. The CEO of Anheuser-Busch, Brendan Whitworth, released a statement Friday afternoon that drew plenty of attention, but that wasn’t the company’s only move, as Budweiser’s official Twitter account is posted a massive paid ad campaign for a pro-America video that attempts to tie America to the popular beer brand.
