Warm Weather Pattern Continues, Smoke and Haze likely as well.

 Southern sections of Manitoba (which is my forecast region) continue to experience warm and above average temperatures. The city of Winnipeg today reached a high of 29C. The hottest that it has been this month. This slightly warmer than average weather trend continues as we head into the rest of the week. This forecast will cover our weather into Thursday. 

(Above). The smoke plume above forecast to move into southern Manitoba on Wednesday night. 

Tonight: A northwesterly flow aloft will unfortunately bring smoke in from Alberta, it already has filled into our area with increasing haze. Our overnight temperatures tonight will drop and stay mild into the low to mid teens. No precipitation is expected. 

Tomorrow: Sunny skies are likely however there may be some haze. A northwest flow will continue impacting our area. It’s really bad Alberta right now because of the evacuations going on there. Temperatures on the day will again rise into the mid to high twenties. A low pressure, system will approach our area during the evening. Tomorrow night, will likely see increasing cloud cover overnight lows will drop into the mid teens. 

Wednesday: A front will be moving through in the early afternoon to evening hours with temperatures rising into the mid to high twenties before it passes through. There’s a chance for showers and thunderstorms during the mid to late afternoon. Given the fact low to moderate instability will be present, there’s a chance for non severe thunderstorms. Nothing like what we recieved earlier this month though. Wednesday night increasing amounts of smoke are likely behind the front as a strong northwest flow develops. Temperatures on Wednesday night in the west will drop into the low teens in the east and mid to high single digits in the west. 

Second half of the week: Calmer weather and slightly cooler temperatures are expected as high pressure builds into our region. Temperatures will return into the mid teens for highs and low to mid single digits for overnight lows. Cooler weather is possible over the lakes where lows may approach 0C.
