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...
New blog update coming Wednesday Morning! I am glad to say that with the latest snowfall we did not get much in the way of precipitation given how things were for this past year. Overall Today's snowfall racked up about 5 to 10cm with higher amounts north of the Winnipeg Region. Looking like this could very well be the last snowfall of the season, no more snow can be expected throughout the rest of the week. We might get a little bit on the day Wednesday/Thursday but it looks to stay mainly south of the border. After that we might be entering into a much warmer week next week, and accuweather is saying we could surpass 10C & get into the mid to high teens into after next week near 20C. It is looking quite likely given a significant pattern change will be taking place as we get into the latter half of next week. I'll keep updates posted & anew blog post on Wednesday...
ReplyDeleteUpdate postponed until 9pm tonight...
