We’ll see warmer conditions for the beginning of this week. Temperatures may even climb above normal!
While Sandy hits the eastern coast of the United States hard during the early part of this week, the weather in Southern Manitoba will be very quiet. Temperatures on Monday will be in the mid to upper single digits in Southern Manitoba, which is near to slightly above the average daytime high of 5C. In terms of precipitation, a passing upper-level disturbance on Monday will generate cloud and some light showers in Southern and Central Manitoba. The most favoured area for shower activity is Western Manitoba, though other parts of Southern Manitoba stand a small chance of seeing a light rain shower. On Tuesday a passing trough of low pressure may once again generate a few showers, though they will be very light and scattered in nature. Tuesday’s high temperatures will be very similar to Monday’s, once again being in the mid to upper single digits.
Halloween Wednesday will be a chilly day, as cool north-westerly winds flow out of a surface ridge over Saskatchewan. Temperatures during the daytime will only be slightly above zero, but will drop near to or slightly below zero by the trick or treating hours. No precipitation is expected on Wednesday.
Conditions through late week will remain fairly seasonable, with daytime highs hovering near to or slightly below 5C. No major shifts in our weather are expected in the foreseeable future. In general, seasonable to slightly below seasonal values are expected over the next while.
