Last Gasp of Above Seasonal Weather, cooling trend to follow.

 Southern Manitoba has basked in unseasonably warm weather over the last few weeks, with temperatures in the mid to high teens and often in the low to mid 20’s. It’s been so warm that mosquitoes are still biting. Will things change!?? However it’s going to cool off unfortunately a change in the weather pattern is expected as cool arctic air will filter south thanks to an area of high pressure for up to 48 hours. Find out what this means for our weather over the second half of the week. (Don’t mind me and the late post I had a delicious thanksgiving lunch which put me out for a bit). 

Wednesday Night: Much of the region of southern sections of Manitoba will see cold weather filter in tonight , a northerly flow will move in with a chance for showers and flurries. A chance that some may stream off of the Manitoba lakes as well, only a trace to 2cm is possible overnight low temperatures tonight will drop into the low to mid single digits. Some areas in the western half of Manitoba will see lows in the low minus single digits. 

Thursday: Will end up being a colder than average day arctic high pressure will sit over our area,  some cloud will stream over and off the lakes as cold air funnels over the relatively warm waters. There’s a chance for some early morning flurries and showers. The rest of the day should bring in some sun and cloud. Nothing significant weather wise is expected. Unfortunately temperatures aren’t expected to rise much with them only rising into the mid single digits, maybe near 10C. Get out your fall clothing!

Thursday Night: A clear night will lead to cold overnight lows with a majority of the region seeing low temperatures in the low to mid minus single digits (-1 to -6C). Yes that cold!! Good news is that the cold will not last long. So the morning on Friday will be quite cold. I would say however that it’s normal for this time of year, summer has to end unfortunately. 

Friday: Sunny beautiful weather is expected into the afternoon before thicker clouds move in late afternoon over the lakes and the parklands and interlakes showers are possible in extreme eastern sections.  High temperatures, will once again climb back to their normal values with some areas just a tad below seasonal. Temperatures are likely to reach the high single digits in the southeast, and the south central, interlakes and southwest and parklands seeing highs in the low to mid teens. 

Friday Night: An area of increasing cloud will move in during the early evening with some rain showers continuing . There’s a possibility that nothing may come out of it, overnight low temperatures will drop into the low to mid single digits areas around the lakes will likely see lows in the high single digits. 

The Weekend: Much of the region will see warm weather this weekend,, a return to warm and seasonal weather will be likely. Temperatures will rise into the mid teens on Saturday.. Saturday night will see lows in the low to mid single digits in the west and central parts of Manitoba . Then low minus single digits are likely in southeast Manitoba. Sunday mostly sunny weather is likely in the mid to high teens with some areas possibly reaching the 20C range only near the American border. Sunday night is expected to be much of the same with lows in the high single digits to the low teens. 

Long Range: Extremely hotter than average weather looks possible with high temperatures returning to the  low to mid 20’s on Monday the to high 20’s on Tuesday with overnight lows in the low teens on Monday night and mid to high teens on Tuesday night. Fluctuating temperatures are likely to occur during the week with highs around normal to slightly above average. Not much in the way of precipitation is expected but will have to watch for showers or weak thunderstorms on the warmer days, although if not sunny weather is likely .
