Do not put away that snow shovel just yet.

A blustery night is in store for southern Manitoba. A clipper is expected to drop up to ten centimetres of snow in parts of southeastern Manitoba by Thursday morning.

Jason Knight with Environment Canada says the heaviest snowfall will be around Riding Mountain National Park, where 15 centimetres of snow could fall. He notes the main swath will come from the Dauphin area, through Winnipeg and then to the Whiteshell and into northwestern Ontario. With Steinbach just on the southern edge of the expected large track, the Automobile City could get between five and ten centimetres of the white stuff.

Environment Canada says winds from the north will gust to 50 kilometres per hour Wednesday evening. The sky should clear Thursday morning, with winds becoming light by the afternoon.

Meanwhile, Environment Canada had been forecasting a chance of thunderstorms in parts of southern Manitoba on Wednesday. Knight says there were a few lightning strikes near the border in North Dakota. He says it looks less and less likely that Steinbach will hear any claps of thunder Wednesday evening.
