Records smashed as Warm March weather continues!

An unseasonably warm push of pacific air over the weekend in southern Manitoba, made for several record high temperatures yesterday. That included Winnipeg where a high of 12.8C was recorded,dominating the previous record set back on March 11th of 1981 at 12.5C. Other records that were broken included a very warm 14.8C in Pinawa (previous record 13.2C in 1995) and 14.6C in Melita. Where was the hottest in Manitoba yesterday? It was Wasagaming in Riding Mountain National Park at 15.8C. Other records Across Manitoba were broken as well.

Temperature Outlook for March 21st to 28th,
notice how the warm weather covers most of
North America

The record warm weather is expected to continue over the rest of the week and into next week with temperatures remaining well above normal and in the range of 7C to 25C for daytime highs and overnight lows above zero in between -1C and 14C. All of the warm temperatures will aid in melting the rest of the snow pack, hopefully it will be gone by the end of this week. More record highs possible for the rest of the week as listed below!
