Week of Sunshine and Thunderstorms

After what was a stormy weekend here in Winnipeg and southern Manitoba, we will be experiencing a few days where the weather will be wet and stormy in places as we have a couple of shortwaves that will move through. Although it will be stormy a few of our days will be beautiful and we'll have the chance to get out and enjoy it. 

Storms look Possible Tuesday

Going into your day Tuesday it is looking like it is going to be a beautiful day temperatures could exceed 20C and arrive in the mid 20's with dew points close behind because of that we could have dew points of 15 to 19C giving high levels of humidity. 

A frontal system could go through areas of southern Manitoba tomorrow afternoon and given how humid it could be we are looking at thunderstorm development. A Weather Moment mentioned that at the low end we could see small hail and gusty winds or strong to severe storms with a tornado threat and potential damaging storms at the high end. Threat should ease by the evening I will provide updates on Twitter as well as the blog. 

Storms also look likely on Wednesday but not as high as tuesdays chances, highs of 25 to 29C Wednesday.


The long range outlook looks like we could be in for some severe weather this Thursday or Friday as another system comes in from the states, all models have had this in their outlook for the past 4 days and they still yet have to resolve the timing and features as it is important in determining when and where the storms or severe weather will occur. Best bet is Southwest MB first then into the Red River Valley Basin and Eastern Manitoba. Till then temperatures through until June look great and our weather might stay the same in terms of storms but great temperatures right in and around seasonal.
