Warmer Weather Is Here, Deep Freeze is Done. Rain Possible on the weekend.

 Good evening everybody I have a weather update for all of you and this is one that I have not done in a month so I'm just catching up on all the current weather forecast trends and it looks like much of our region is going to be taking a reprieve from the significant cold that we have experienced over the last For two to four weeks. This forecast is going to be quite simple and uncomplicated. Justin has already had some of it covered but I also have my own view of this upcoming pattern. I'll try and make it fun. 

Tonight: For all of you at night owls who are still up our temperatures tonight are gonna be weirdly rising, and I say normally this time of year our temperatures drop as we go through the overnight however because we now are on the east side of an area of high pressure winds are coming out of the South and allowing for a southerly flow to develop over a region. It'll bring in a warmer air mass as we approach the morning hours our temperatures will rise into the mid minus single digits now that's something I can handle however please don't be complaining that we're still in the minuses at this point we've been worse back in 2013 we were locked in extensive cold well into the month of April. 

Saturday: Saturday should be a gorgeous afternoon with temperatures rising into the minus single digits, There is also a good possibility of some increasing cloudiness towards the late afternoon hours in the southwest, however during the afternoon and early evening I expect some spots of sun to persist with a mix of sun and cloud mainly in the southeast. During the night on Saturday a low pressure system will be approaching from the West in southeastern Saskatchewan ahead of it very warm air will be moving into our region which will keep our temperatures within the minus single digits during the overnight time frame there will be some warming areas in the southwest which may see values closer to the minus 1 or - 2 marked by the morning hours. Is some inconsistencies on the current setup for the precipitation which is expected during the day on Sunday if anyone in the southwest during Saturday night sees precipitation it will likely fall as snow.

Sunday: This is when the weather gets mighty interesting on the day Sunday much of southern Manitoba will be basking in a unusually warm air mass and our temperatures will rise into the low to mid plus single digits we will be in the warm sector of a low pressure system. During the early afternoon a area of rain will develop and mostly move across the West Bend and Brandon Regions moving into southeastern Manitoba towards the late afternoon and early evening. The latest H Triple R Model Run is suggesting that areas of central West Manitoba will be seeing some heavy snow there will be a brief. For freezing rain and also this freezing rain threat will persist pardon me present itself over the Red River Valley as well depending on where the freezing levels set up during the afternoon.

Sunday night: Much of the region will continue seeing temperatures within above seasonal values and this is actually welcoming considering how cold it has been our overnight low temperatures will be sitting in the low minus single digits and right around zero degrees for a majority of the region. Any precipitation during Sunday evening will move out of the region by shortly after 9:00 PM I'm expecting that there is a risk for some ice accumulation of any rain that builds up as a result of the freezing rain or rain that falls with temperatures dropping below zero overnight there is a risk of either highway closures or increased risk for road safety problems.

It looks like this warm weather will persist into the beginning of the week, I do see a couple of more Clipper systems moving in on Monday and Tuesday in Saskatchewan they may impact our region at some point within the week it's too far ahead to tell at this point if you are looking for the warmth and maybe even get out there and put on some shorts with considering how warm it will likely be this weekend just don't go and tell others that it was us that said that you could do that.
