Happy Halloween! The seasonal weather continues

The Seasonal weather continues for many, as temperatures climb into the low to mid single digits, with some to little amounts of precipitation anticipated from now into the weekend. The sun may also peak out for a couple of hours per day or more, take advantage of it we may end up getting snow soon.


Not much clearing will take place for the trick or treaters this evening, or even later on overnight. Stubborn
cloudcover continues to filter in from inbetween the interlakes with the NW flow from the high
pressure system in Saskatchewan. There might be the odd chance for a few
showers or possibly flurries as it cools off overnight.

 
 Well Happy Halloween everyone! It is going to be such an amazing night for lots of people heading out trick or treating, or going out for a fun time. I hate to be the bear of bad news though, the night ahead isn't looking so great for trick or treaters. There will be off and on drizzle/showers with flurries occurring later on, however the cloudcover will stay put making for a spooky and gloomy night. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few peeks of sun or clear sky in western Manitoba as the escarpment chops up the NW flow aloft. Temperatures however will be cool for the treaters, likely sitting in the low single digits in the RedRiverValley and east Manitoba. There might be a few locales in western Manitoba that could dip near the freezing mark. Temperatures mentioned above will cool into the night, though it won't get any colder than -6C in any location. Make sure you dress for the weather tonight, to prevent any minor frostbite.

Tomorrow's weather will be a different story than compared to today's we won't be dealing with much in the way of rain, however cloudcover will continue to stick around limiting our temperatures to near zero or slightly above the freezing mark into the low single digits. A northwest wind will be in place through the period also helping limit daytime highs. High temperatures will be below or near the normal.

Friday's weather will be a completley different story as high temperatures remain in the minus single digits, only getting as warm as near zero in places. The sun will be out though, that will be a highlight of the day, only the fact that it will be accompanied by a cool northwest wind. Temperatures should remain below the normal through the day Friday.

Here is the better news for all, things start warming up as we head through the weekend and into the start of the week. It might be another blast of pacific air coming in during this time frame, likely giving temperatures a boost to near 10+C for the first time in weeks. I am not sure how things will pan out in the long run, but my gut feeling is that we may end up seeing snow fly before the end of November. We will end up getting it eventually, that is why I am keeping an eye on models for any sort of storm system.

Until then enjoy the fall weather! And Happy Halloween!
