Last night was exceptionally cold with most places recieving overnight lows in the minus teens and in fact a few spots reached overnight lows close to -20C including Winnipeg where temperatures tied the old record set back in 1997 at -20.1C (coincidence much?), the latest cold temperature to occur in the season.
Despite our cold spell at the start of the week, we will now only have one more day of temperatures in the minuses and that is today as we switch into a somewhat milder but below sesonal temperature pattern for the rest of the week. This warmup will be thank's to a switch to a zonal flow aloft which is a good sign for this time of year, as a result expect temperatures to warm into the low plus single digits allowing for a more consistent melt, once we get rid of all of the snow temperatures will be able to rise past 10C and allow for more seasonable spring temperatures. However that is a long way's off and I am still unable to find out how warm it will get at the end of this week, I will post a few comment's on how warm it will get at the end of this week in the comment's section.
As for precipitation not much is in the forecast for the week but a system is set to affect Southern Manitoba bringing a possible wintry mix on the weekend. Detail's will be posted on Friday! Have a good week...
