Pleasant weather Ahead, Cool Trend coming??

 Southern Manitoba will be expecting a fairly nice second half of the week as a area of high pressure sits over the northern plains, the unfortunate news is that it will not last long. Cooler temperatures are on the way but briefly. 

Thursday: A cold front will gradually swing south from the inter lakes and northern Manitoba through the day on Thursday. Temperatures won’t be affected. The day will be beautiful with sunny skies, and high temperatures in the mid to high 20’s, temperatures will sit in the 23-29C for much of the southern half of the province. A few localities in the parklands will see highs in the low 20’s (20 to 23C). Winnipeg: Sunny, high 27C. Brandon: Sunny high 25C. 

Thursday Night: Cloudy skies are expected overnight into Friday. There also will be a chance for showers and drizzle by the Manitoba lakes. By morning the cold front I mentioned will be sitting over southern Manitoba, however a cooler overnight is expected than we have received over the past few nights, temperatures will reach the mid teens overnight from 11 to 16C with some areas of the parklands in and around Dauphin dropping below 10C. Winnipeg: Cloudy to partly cloudy, low 14C. Brandon: Cloudy, low 12C. 

Friday: Cloudy skies are once again expected with some periods of sun mixed in,  temperatures will rise into the mid to high teens on the day (14C to 19C), with the temperatures in the high teens in southwestern Manitoba. Little in the way of precipitation is expected for the afternoon. Winnipeg: Cloudy, high 15C. Brandon: Cloudy, high 18C. 

Friday Night: Partly cloudy skies will allow for a cool airmass to filter in behind the cold front overnight, with an area of high pressure sitting just to the south. This will be part of a northwesterly flow aloft that will stay for the weekend. This setup will in turn inhibit our temperatures from staying in the mid teens. Instead lows will only be in the high single digit range (5 to 9C). Temperatures around the lakes will drop to the low teens, lake water holds more heat at night in the summer and can warm the surrounding regions. Winnipeg: Partly cloudy: Low 8C. Brandon: Partly cloudy, low 8C.

The weekend: Temperatures will likely make a rebound and rise into the low to mid 20’s, on Saturday. There will be some unsettled weather as another area of low pressure swings through. Showers are likely towards the afternoon and second half of the day into Sunday night. Mainly looking at a chance for showers and weak thunderstorms (30% chance of them). Sunday looks unsettled also with highs in the mid to high teens, with showers expected also. Lows will be in the high single digits to low teens.
