Summer Weather Finally Returns!

A ridge of high pressure staying in the province for the next day or two will allow for some dry weather to linger around to help us dry out. After our last wind and rainstorm hit the province that sure did a number on all of us we now are welcomed with a return to the summer heat making our forecast look much better than it has been as of late, giving us the chance to get out and take in what summer has to offer.

The dry weather can't make a return soon enough since the flooding in the southwestern part of the province continues to worsen, several communities have declared a state of emergency and this weather is perfect for the recovery efforts. 

Today will offer beautiful conditions with sunshine and light winds out of the southwest along with temperatures right around normal, anywhere from 25 degrees in the south central part of the province to the 23C and 24C range in the southwest. Our low's will be a different story though as they drop to around or just slightly above the 10C mark.

Friday will be a much warmer day in the south as high temperatures sneak up in and around the 28-29C for much of the region as a warm front slides into the area, there also appears to be a warm front sliding into the area which will offer a slight chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening. Our overnight lows will only slide down into the 18C range in the RRV while lows of 16C in the southwest can be expected. 


Our true summer weather comes around on the weekend (only one way to describe it hot and humid) a hot and humid airmass will build into areas of southern Manitoba through the day Saturday as dewpoint's rise into the mid 20's our high temperatures of around to slightly above 30 degrees will feel closer to the high 30's to low 40's. Severe thunderstorms will also be possible given the fact there will be systems cascading through the area adding in the fact how hot and humid that it will feel. There is always a chance for that type of weather with such high heat and humidity. Details on the severe weather risk will be posted in tomorrow's post as things still remain quite uncertain over the weekend.


Get out and enjoy this real summer weather as we finally get a chance to dry out!
