Warmth and Dry Weather Continues

Warm and sunny weather has finally set into southern Manitoba and it’s been consistent, something we haven’t seen in a long time. You can thank this warmer weather to an area of high pressure that has been sitting over our area for the last week, with a consistent trough of low pressure over the western part of Canada. Will this pattern break down ? How warm will it get ?? Read on to find out. 

Wednesday: Should end up being a beautiful day with sunny skies under the presence of high pressure. There may be a few pop up showers with day time heating especially southwest Manitoba where thunderstorms are possible between 12pm and 6pm. Temperatures during the day on Wednesday will warm up into the low to mid 20’s. With some areas in the southern red river valley seeing highs in the mid 20’s. Overnight partly cloudy skies are expected with some periods of cloudy skies in the southwest lows will drop into the low to mid teens with an area around Brandon dropping below 10C.  

Thursday: High pressure still in place for the area with calm weather continuing. Sunny skies and partly cloudy skies are possible in spotty sections in the region, temperatures are likely to sit in the low twenties with some regions in the southwest to the southern red river valley reaching the mid 20’s. Thursday Night: Clear skies are likely with some cloud cover in the south west part of Manitoba, temperatures in the low teens are likely overnight with areas around the lakes dropping down to around 10C. 

Friday: The morning will start out clear and sunny but by the early afternoon hours a band of showers will move in from Saskatchewan, there’s a chance that by late afternoon this could transition into showers with embedded thunderstorms mainly non severe. Amounts however  will only be in the 5-10mm range. Temperatures on Friday in the southwest will rise into the high teens to low to mid twenties with a possibility they could drop to the low twenties once the showers move in late afternoon. Temperatures on Friday elsewhere will rise into the mid to high twenties in the south central part of Manitoba with the same expected in the interlakes and the southeast. 

Friday Night: Most of the showers should clear out by the evening hours, weakening as they move into the red river valley. Thundershowers are possible still but nothing severe is at all possible. Temperatures on Friday night will drop into the mid to high teens.

The Weekend: Some unsettled weather will arrive for the weekend with an increasing chance for showers developing, temperatures will rise into the low to mid to high 20’s with a possibility of higher temperatures on Sunday. Overnight lows on Saturday night will likely drop to the mid teens to high teens and Sunday night lows might drop into the high teens to low 20’s. Thunderstorm and severe weather chances increase during the first half of the week next week as a trough sets up to our southwest.
