Temperatures will only rise into the mid to high single digits (4 to 9C) on Monday with sections of the interlakes only rising into the mid single digits. (3 to 5C).  Heading into the overnight into Tuesday temperatures will take a nosedive as persistent northwesterly winds kick in, overnight. Clear skies will allow for overnight lows to drop into the low minus single digits (-1 to -3C). With some places even dropping into the mid minus single digits , with lows in the low single digits (0 to 3C)in western Manitoba around by Brandon east southeast into the pilot mound areas as well as Dauphin.

A low pressure system will bring an area of snow to areas of northern North Dakota however the consistent northwesterly flow will keep most of it south the border. Mainly sunny skies are expected however for the day on Wednesday with the possibility of some cloudy periods, as some areas of heavier clouds filter in from the northwest. There could be some thicker clouds in the southeast in the inter lakes, and southeastern Manitoba.

Areas further west into the southwestern and western half of Manitoba can expect high temperatures in the low teens (10 to 12C). Heading into Wednesday Night, that area of high pressure I mentioned will be south of us in North Dakota, clear skies are expected for the night on Wednesday with an area of heavier cloud expected to move into areas from just west of Brandon east into Winnipeg. Showers are possible for Brandon into the portage la prairie area. Overnight low temperatures will drop a couple of degrees above zero for most. (1 to 6C).
