Warm Weather comes to an end

I just got back from a bike ride and I really enjoyed the  summer like weather we’re getting for the second time this fall. As you know much of southern Manitoba has been experiencing warmer than average temperatures with the average daytime highs getting 10-15 degrees above average, that pattern looks to break down however. A cold front will be cutting across Manitoba tonight into Tuesday. The unfortunate part of this is that our second summer will disappear. Better get out your pumpkin spice coffee or tea, and your warm blankets. Maybe might even need to turn on your furnace. Ugh the dreaded slow but deadly return to winter, I guess we don’t have to worry about Michael Meyers running around.  If you dare to read about Frosty the snowman . Find out how cold it will get and how long it will last for read on. 

Monday Night: An advancing cold front will move through the region over night into Tuesday, with it increasing cloud cover will fill into the area. A small chance of showers may come along with it as well. As for temperatures, we’re looking at temperatures dropping into the low to mid single digits (2 to 7C). The coldest of the temperatures look to be mainly in the extreme western half of Manitoba, the warmer side of temperatures look to be in parts of the southwest into the eastern half of Manitoba and the interlakes. 

Tuesday: A arctic high pressure system will begin moving into the province, bringing in temperatures cooler than what we have been used to. Add on that cloudy skies are expected on Tuesday. Much of the region will see highs in the mid to high single digits (5 to 7C). It appears our daytimehigh numbers are pulling a April fools joke. 

Tuesday Night: A northerly flow will aid in clearing cloud cover mainly in southeast Manitoba, however western Manitoba cloudy skies are likely once again. The northerly flow will allow temperatures to drop drastically especially in the southeastern half and western portions, where lows will drop in the low minus single digits (-1 to -3C). Areas in the western half of Manitoba might even see lows of -5C. Areas from just west of Winnipeg into the interlakes regions and parts of western Manitoba will see lows in the low single digits (1 to 2C). 

Wednesday: An adjacent area of high pressure will be sitting over the northern prairies, a northwesterly flow will be in place during the day. Cloudy skies are likely in the early afternoon, before sunny skies expected to filter in. Unfortunately a mix of sun and some cloud cover will prevent any significant warming occurring in the southwest.  Sunny skies are still expected in the southeast. Temperatures for the day are likely to end up being in the mid single digits (5 to 8C), talk about a cold fall day. 

Wednesday Night: Clear skies are expected however a batch of cloud cover will develop in the southwestern half of Manitoba overnight into the early morning with cloudy skies filling in for the rest of the region. Temperatures will vary from being a couple degrees above zero in the pembina valley, and just south and southwest of Lake Manitoba (1 to 3C) Areas in the red river valley, interlakes and western Manitoba will see lows in the low to mid minus single digits (-3 to -6C). Areas in the assessippi regions may even see lows down to -9C. 

Second half of the week: Much of the region will continue to see temperatures in the low, mid and high single digits for daytime highs. Sunny to partly cloudy skies are also expected under the presence of high pressure. No significant rainfall or snowfall is on the horizon.
