Calm weekend with near seasonal temperatures, some good news as well.

 Southern Manitoba has been in a below normal, to near normal temperature pattern as forecasted earlier this week, that looks to continue into the weekend I also have some good news find out read on more to find out what that is. 

Cold to start the week with warmer temperatures arriving

Everyone I’m back from a short break a well needed one as I have been working on blog posts for the majority of the summer and fall . Post will be sporadic but they will still be posted in the event that we have any major changes in weather. In regards to this week Southern Manitoba can expect a cooler than average start to the week as a large area of high-pressure will be establishing himself over the Canadian provinces, that will be the weather maker for the week ahead. 

Above Tuesday will be the last cooler than average day of the week before it warms up on Wednesday.

Monday: Area of high-pressure will be moving towards the province of Manitoba throughout the day on Monday. The day ahead on Monday will start off mostly cloudy for a majority of regions in the southern half of the province, some partly cloudy skies may be around in the interlakes. Sunshine expected in the afternoon for the majority of the southern half of the province. Northerly winds can be expected throughout the day ahead of the area of high-pressure, temperatures will not budge much for the day I’m only expecting High temperatures to rise into the mid to  high minus single digits, in general anywhere from -6°C to -10°C. Forecast; Winnipeg: Cloudy in the morning then sunny, high -6C. Brandon: Cloudy , then becoming sunny in the afternoon high -3C. 

Monday Night: Partly cloudy skies then cloudy skies are expected for the night on Monday, around the morning hours cloudy skies are expected for majority of the region. As cloudy skies are expected to be in place temperatures won’t drop much. Low temperatures in southern Manitoba will drop into the high minus single digits and Low minus double digit temperatures,  especially in areas that are in the red river valley and lakes region. This means that The red river valley will see low temperatures between -10°C and -14°C with the windchill is getting closer to -20°C. Overnight low temperatures for the rest of southern Manitoba will be between -7°C and -10°C. Forecast, Winnipeg: cloudy, low -12°C windchill -18°C. Brandon: cloudy Low-10°C.  

Tuesday: As mentioned above the area of high-pressure will be moving through southern Manitoba on Tuesday as it moves through the province Palm conditions are expected with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. Majority of the region will see temperatures in the mid single digits with some regions seeing temperatures in the low minus single digits (-1 to -7C). Winnipeg: partly cloudy high -3°C. Brandon: Partly cloudy high temperature -4°C. 

Tuesday Night: There will also be cloudy skies on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. Temperatures on Tuesday night will warm as the area of high-pressure moves out to the east this will allow our temperatures to rise gradually overnight. This means that mid minus single digits in the evening will rise to the low minus single digits overnight. This will mean that temperatures will drop between -5°C and -1°C in extreme south western portions of Manitoba. Winnipeg:  cloudy Low -2°C, Brandon: cloudy low -4°C.

 Wednesday: Mainly cloudy skies are expected in the morning with Sunny skies for the afternoon with a mix of sun and cloud expected. An approaching low-pressure system will be drawing in a southerly airmass for the day on Wednesday, as a result a majority of southern Manitoba will be experiencing above normal temperatures for the day on Wednesday. Temperatures will be in the range of 4°C to 10°C with the warmer temperatures expected towards the American border. Winnipeg: Sunny and high temperature 8°C, Brandon: sunny high temperature 5°C.

The second half of the week looks to have an area of low pressure move through the province of Manitoba which will drop our temperatures for the latter half of the week, it is really difficult at this point in time to figure out if we will be getting any precipitation as the frontal system goes through we will monitor this for further updates. 

Slightly cold weekend followed by a winter storm!!

 The province of Manitoba has experienced an exceptionally warmer than average period Of weather over the the past week, however that won’t last much longer as a Colorado low is developing in the states. That is expected to impact Manitoba towards the latter half of the weekend. Read on ,, to find out how that will affect us. 

Heat Wave coming to southern Manitoba.

 This week will be the beginning of a well above average temperature trend, you can thank that to an area of high pressure and a building ridge over the west coast. Find out how this will impact our weather this week. Read on to find out...

 A look at the warmer than average temperatures expected for the day on Tuesday!! Enjoy it well you can . 

Monday Night: Will be a calm night, light winds are expected out of the W to SW. Clear skies are expected not really anything huge in terms of weather conditions, overnight low temperatures will drop from slightly below zero into the mid single digits (-1 to 5C). Winnipeg: Clear, low 0C. Brandon: Clear low 0C. Dauphin: Clear to partly cloudy low , 5C. 

Tuesday: Will be one of the warmest days of the week, a majority of southern regions of the province can expect a southerly wind along with sunny skies . ushering in temperatures in the mid to high double digits (12-18C). Winnipeg: Sunny high 13C. Brandon: Sunny, high 14C. Dauphin: Sunny high 16C. 

Tuesday Night: Clear skies are expected with a majority of the region still remaining under the ridge. Some light cloud will filter into the southwest part of Manitoba into the morning hours. Overnight lows will drop into slightly below (0C to 6C). Winnipeg: Clear, low 1C, Brandon: Clear, then partly cloudy low 0C. Dauphin: Partly cloudy, low 5C.

Wednesday: A small low pressure system will move through during the early morning hours, this will bring in some light cloudcover but the sun should still manage to peak out.  Winds will shift to the NW during the afternoon then to the W, temperatures will soar into the low to mid double digits (10 to 16C). Winnipeg: Partly cloudy, high 12C. Brandon: Sunny, high 14C. Dauphin: Sunny high 10C.

Wednesday Night: A cold front will likely move southeast during the evening hours, behind it increasing amounts of cloud cover will filter in and this is crucial as there will be some prevention of overnight lows dropping well below zero. A large majority of southern Manitoba will see lows between (-2 to 5C). Areas that will probably be below zero will be along and south of the Manitoba lakes and along highway 1. Winnipeg: Clear increasing clouds by morning then cloudy, low zero. Brandon: Clear then partlycloudy, becoming cloudy by morning low 0C, Dauphin: Cloudy, low 1C.

Second half of the week: Above normal temperatures continue , before a possible storm could come in by the weekend.  Long range models are hinting at a low pressure system bringing in the threat for a snow storm/winter storm impacting a large portion of the southeastern Canadian prairie provinces. The data is still quite off with some models moving the storm into SW MB as far North as Thompson and Churchill with amounts over 100cm, while others are hinting at it impacting far southwest Manitoba into the central portions of the province with less snowfall . None are showing it for the southern half so far . We will update you .
