Abnormally Warm and Dry Weather, continues. Your Weekend details are here.

 Well Folks I am back after a long break, much of the weather lately has been dull and uninteresting. I am unfortunately not enjoying the lack of snow if this was the month of March I would be okay with it. Regardless the latest satellite image from weatherlogics (below) proves how dry it has been lately. As usual with El Nino, the jetstream is further north which is allowing that warmer weather to persist over the Canadian Prairie provinces with our temperatures at least 3 to 5 degrees Celsius above average this past week heading into the second half of the week temperatures will return closer to normal. This weather blog will not be too long as there isn't a lot of weather happening over the next three to five days .

Thursday: Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies are likely with high temperatures in the low minus single digits and wind chill values in the mid to high minus single digits, some flurries are possible during the morning hours with clearing skies possible in the afternoon the sunniest regions in the province appear to be the Red River valley and the eastern parts of the province. Thursday night: Mild and slightly above average overnight low temperatures continue with lows for the majority of the province in the mid minus to high minus single digits with areas, over the Manitoba Lakes dropping around minus 8 to minus ten degrees Celsius . Just wanted to mention that temperatures which are in the high minus single digits are usually the colder side of values it's the opposite of high plus single digits. 

Friday: Much of southern Manitoba will be under the influence of a southerly flow or westerly flow thanks to us being situated on the southern side of a stationary or warm front this will aid in majority of the cold temperatures sitting over northern Manitoba. It will be another mild day with the majority of the region seeing partly sunny to mostly sunny skies with some cloud. No precipitation or snow is expected on the day Friday with high temperatures again sitting in the low minus single digits close to around 0 degrees it's possible that some areas may approach or get above zero degrees Celsius during the day on Friday .

Friday night: It appears that some increase in cloud may be possible during the overnight hours with some flurries beginning in the morning hours on Saturday. Temperatures on Friday night will likely drop into some seasonal daytime high values which is above normal for overnight lows, with a majority of the region seeing low temperatures in the mid minus equal digits some other areas may drop around closer to minus seven to minus nine degrees . The reason for the warm overnight low temperatures is the continued southwesterly flow ahead of a through low pressure which will impact the region on the weekend.

Our warm weather pattern continues to the weekend with our high temperatures in the mid to high minus single digits for overnight lows and low to mid minus single digits for daytime highs. There is a chance for some flurries on the day Saturday followed by calmer weather conditions on Sunday and the same weather pattern will likely persist into the week next week.
