Warmer and more humid weather on the way

The past weekend was cooler than average and it was a brutal reality check, but things this week are looking brighter and warmer than what it has been as the ridge of high pressure out west moves in and brings us the spring like warmth. 

  The next few days will feature warmer weather and increasing humidity the day Tuesday will feature high temperatures in the low 20's with sunshine. Winnipeg should be around 24C all as the ridge of high pressure sits over our area from the south. Wednesday will be a different story there will be a chance of showers but very slim at best and there could be some cloudcover depending on how much we get there could be cooler temperatures. However if there is none then our temperatures will be able to get to about twenty five to twenty seven degrees. 

Long Range: Increasingly Warm and humid with thunderstorm chances


   The longer range appears to be fairly interesting, there is a good chance of increasing humidity, higher dewpoints, and warmer temperatures. Altogether that will mean hot and humid conditions with humidex values possibly above 30C. A notable feature for the long range there appears to be a chance for thunderstorms on the May Long weekend, as a trough of low pressure moves into the increasingly hot and humid airmass. Points are for a possible severe weather event of some kind but it is too early to fine tune the details. It is something I will monitor over the coming days and update you on Twitter and on here with a new blog post on Wednesday evening and Friday Morning.
