Showers and Thunderstorms possible to end the Week

 Southern sections of Manitoba have been experiencing beautiful, calm seasonal weather thanks to a ridge of high pressure that has been building in to southern Manitoba. This trend looks to continue, with mild temperatures expected. The only caveat to this is that a trough might go through sections of Manitoba on Thursday bringing slightly unsettled weather. Find out what this means for Manitoba by reading more below.

 This blog will be shorter and brief as not a lot of active weather looks to occur until the weekend, as for the day today there will be some slight instability in southern sections of Manitoba ahead of a low pressure system. Pop up showers and thundershowers are possible during the afternoon today into the early evening, non severe weather is expected however. As for the rest of the week on Thursday another chance for showers and thunderstorms are possible, although isolated in nature.  Friday much of the same can be expected with minimal precipitation and sunny to partly cloudy skies, except into the evening hours on Friday a frontal system will move into the area bringing a brief chance for showers.With rain expected into Saturday morning.   Temperatures for tonight will drop into the high single digits in southern sections of Manitoba particularly the south central regions, areas in the interlakes and southwest/southeast Manitoba can expect lows in the low teens. During the day on Thursday much of the same for temperatures as it was Wednesday and it will help dry out the waterlogged fields. High temperatures are likely to sit in the low to mid 20’s in the southwest , with the eastern half of Manitoba in the high teens and low 20’s, colder as you go towards the white shell and sandilands. Temperatures on Thursday night will drop into the low teens (10 to 14C) the warmest overnight lows seen in at least 6-8 months. Friday temperatures are expected to rise into the low to high 20’s in all regions of southern parts of the province, areas along the American border have a good chance of surpassing 25C.  The further north you go the more likely you’ll see highs in the low 20’s or high teens especially in the parklands. Temperatures on Friday night will again drop into the low teens, with lows north of Gimli and dauphin (north parklands and interlakes) dropping below 10C. Same thing goes for areas along and around the Manitoba lakes. 

The weekend: Warm Mild weather continues, temperatures will be warm sitting in the mid to high 20’s with low 20’s also possible on Sunday. A frontal system will come through on Saturday evening and Sunday, humidity will be fairly high with dew points in the mid teens. Thunderstorms are possible both on Saturday and Sunday.
