Stormy Weather On The Way Tonight, Leaving Behind Cooler Weather For the Weekend

With temperatures in the high twenties to low thirties today, a stormy night will take over as a cold front slides through Southern Manitoba and the Northern Plains. The cold front will knock down temperatures for the start of the weekend, as a NW breeze kicks in blowing air down from the Arctic.

A cold front will move through tonight sparking off showers and numerous thunderstorms

Until the day is done we will see temperatures rise into the high 20's low thirties across southern Manitoba with any leftover cloudcover clearing out. It should be a perfect sunset before things take a turn for the worst this evening as a cold front moves through the southern portion of the province until morning. Showers and numerous thunderstorms should develop along the front itself in the early to mid evening, likely growing in coverage as the night wears on. The showers and thunderstorms will move  the regions in the Red River Valley overnight, bringing a good 15mm to the area. The potential exists for some regions to receive over an inch of rain and a fantastic lightning show, likely the last of the year in Manitoba. Severe Weather will be possible tonight in North Dakota, and a slim chance in Manitoba meaning large hail and damaging winds the main threats.

Things should clear out for tomorrow making way for sunny skies and cooler temperatures near the mid twenties, with a light West to Southwest wind. Warmer Weather will be possible at the start of next week with high's near 30C. Take care during the storms everyone!
