Slight warmup On The Way

 Much of southern Manitoba will be expecting milder weather to arrive , for the second half of the week that will be more reminiscent of typical november weather. You can thank an arctic high pressure system sinking south through Saskatchewan for bringing in the colder airmass. Find out how cold it will get and how long it will last for . 

(Above) Warmer temperatures are expected for the day on Thursday, this trend looks to continue for us over the next few days into the weekend possibly. 😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. 

Wednesday: Will end up starting out cloudy as a cold front swings through early in the morning, a small band of snow and slight blowing snow is possible as it moves out by the afternoon hours. There is a possibility for some lake effect snow showers to develop by the afternoon off of lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba. Partly cloudy skies are possible in the red river valley, southwestern Manitoba, and interlakes.. Temperatures will only reach the mid to high minus single digits across the southeastern half of Manitoba (-5 to -9C), areas in the southwestern half into the interlakes regions will only see daytime highs in the low minus teens (-10 to -15C). Heading into Wednesday night clear skies are likely as a ridge of high pressure builds into the area, the unfortunate part of this is that overnight lows will plummet well into the mid to high minus teens (-10 to -18C) across the south. 

Thursday: During the day Thursday we will end up being on the backside of the high pressure system (clockwise flow), so we will probably start seeing milder temperatures. Sunny skies are expected in the southeast, interlakes and the Red river valley, the exception being the southwest where mostly cloudy skies are likely there.  Temperatures will rise into the low minus single digits in the southwest (-3 to -6C) and into the upper minus single digits in the Red River valley and eastern Manitoba (-6 to -10C). It’s a good thing because we don’t need the colder weather quite yet. Thursday night will be a bit different, a warm front will be approaching the area ahead of it will have increasing cloudcover. Thursday night temperatures will be doing a bit of a flip flop (no not actual flip flops, we’re in the middle of winter 🤣🤣🤣). Instead of temperatures cooling overnight they will be warming up from sitting at (-7C to -10C) to warming up into the mid to high minus single digits (-4C to -7C), by morning. Some locations will drop a degree or 2 overnight, but will warm up regardless. 

Friday: Much of southern sections of the province can expect partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies during the afternoon. A low pressure system will be sitting south of the border out ahead of it an area of rain mixed with snow , possibly mixed with freezing rain will develop in western Manitoba . This area of mixed precipitation  will move east through the afternoon and may arrive by the evening in the red river valley. I’m only expecting a 2-4cm only. Temperatures during the afternoon will soar into the low to mid minus single digits (-1 to -7C). Friday Night: A area of precipitation will move through the red river valley, with the risk of freezing rain and snow mixing in . That should clear out by the evening hours, cloudy skies are expected overnight. Temperatures will drop into the low to mid minus single digits overnight (-1 to -7C).
