Strong Montana Low to Impact Southern Manitoba

 Hey folks I’m back with another weather blog update this time it’s about a strong Montana low that will impact southern Manitoba this Tuesday, looking like the worst of the system will be over by Thursday. Environment Canada already has warnings out for this system . 

Tuesday. The low pressure system will begin impacting western Manitoba with the possibility of freezing rain in areas of that region, there’s a chance that as the day persists some of that may come up to extreme southern portions of Manitoba up to the red river valley later in the day . Temperatures will be in the mid minus single digits remaining quite warm. Freezing rain will begin transitioning to snow after wards the supper timeframe 

Tuesday night: This is when the worst of the system looks to impact our region with the increasing chances of snow and blowing snow over our region, snow and blowing snow will begin impacting much of southern Manitoba . Wind gusts over southern Manitoba may exceed 60km/h at times especially over the red river valley . Temperatures will remain quite mild with overall values in the minus single digits.

Wednesday: Snow will persist into the second half of the day when it will begin slowly winding down in intensity by the evening hours. Highways will be likely treacherous or even closed down by the time this system is over with. Travel isn’t recommended, until snow crews can get out. Temperatures will remain mild in the south except for a portion of the riding and assesisppi mountains where highs in the minus teens in the lower range are possible . Travel isn’t recommended in these conditions. 

Snowfall Totals: Much of the region can expect between 15-25cm with most of the snow likely in a corridor west of Winnipeg seeing the highest amounts, with areas by Brandon and western regions expecting the highest amounts with some areas at risk of 30-35cm in the purple shown above. 

Wednesday night: Low pressure clears out as it does so a large area of arctic air will begin slowly moving in behind it. It will take a while to reach the southeast with areas of the rest of the province seeing temperatures in the low minus teens , especially in the interlakes and western Manitoba on Wednesday night. 

Second half of the week: Temperatures will continue to make a nose dive but slowly as the arctic air takes a while to reach southern Manitoba especially the southeast. Minus teens temperatures may not be felt in the southeast until Friday afternoon. 

I’m back!! Warm weather stays in southern Manitoba after deep freeze.

 Hello everyone welcome I’m back with your weekly weather blog updates, it looks like it’s going to be an interesting week ahead weatherwise what temperature is on the upswing well have details about it in this week’s weather blog. 

Monday: Monday will be a day with mainland, cloudy skies with the presence of a low pressure system over a region. Temperatures on the day Monday will be in the lower single digits areas south of Highway one temperatures will remain a degree or two above zero, what areas north of that will see temperatures in the lower minus single digits.  There will be a chance for flurries in the early morning hours behind it. An Arctic air mass will slightly infiltrate our region however temperatures will remain warm. Overnight low temperatures on Monday night will be in the upper minus single digits between -10 to -5°C. Most of the snow that is forecast will be in northern Manitoba as southern Manitoba remains in the warm sector 

Tuesday:

Behind the low pressure system on Tuesday afternoon temperatures will be a little bit cooler than they were on Monday with sunny skies, likely in the afternoon hours and temperatures in the lower - minus single digits with areas in the Interlakes in the upper minus digits closer to -10°. Tuesday night cold Arctic arrow infiltrate our region in southeastern Manitoba specifically areas of western Manitoba remain quite mild with Lows in the low minus single digits between -4 and -6° areas in southeastern Manitoba will see low temperatures in the minus teens with some areas in the Interlakes in the -20s. 

Wednesday: another burst pacific air will be infiltrating on the Talbot on the day Wednesday with more cloud cover except for areas in extreme eastern Manitoba. You can thank the cold arctic air which infiltrated overnight as a result of Arctic high-pressure, which will begin moving off to our east on Wednesday, which will help with a southerly flow over our region. Temperatures will be in the low minus single digits between -3 and -6C. 

Second half of the week it looks like that mild pacific air will still continue infiltrating our region heading well into the weekend with temperatures, possibly on a couple of days reaching above 0°C there isn’t any sign of the Arctic air returning onto our region until next week in the middle of the week so it looks like there’s warm weather that we’ve been experiencing will persist and get out and enjoy it while you can!
