A massive upper low currently bringing copious amounts of rain to Southern Alberta will bring increasingly unsettled weather to Southern Manitoba as it flattens the upper ridge over the Eastern Prairies allowing weaker disturbances to push further east.
Today and Tonight
19°C
Increasing cloudiness in the afternoon; becoming windy.
10°C
Showers beginning in the evening.
We’ll see a pleasant day today with sunny skies for most of the day and our temperature recovering fairly quickly from our chilly overnight temperatures. We’ll see a high of 19°C today with winds increasing out of the south through the day to 40km/h with gusts as high as 60–65km/h. Clouds will begin pushing into the region later in the afternoon ahead of this evening’s weather.
This evening, a low-level jet will push into the Red River Valley which will initiate and sustain an area of scattered showers stretching from North Dakota north-northwestwards across Southern Manitoba and into Saskatchewan. These showers will slowly push eastwards through the Red River Valley overnight giving generally 2–4mm accumulations with the potential for 5–10mm of rain under any slightly heavier showers that may get going.
The Weekend
A few remnant showers will linger through Saturday morning before tapering off and leaving more cloud than sun through the Red River Valley in the afternoon as we climb to a high of 19°C. More cloud will push in overnight as we drop to around 9°C.
19°C / 9°C
A few showers ending in the morning then a mix of sun and cloud.
17°C / 10°C
Mainly cloudy. Chance of afternoon showers.
Sunday will be a cloudy day with a chance of afternoon showers as a weak disturbance skips along the international border. Areas close to the border will see a much greater chance than we will in Winnipeg but anywhere that sees showers will likely see fairly minimal amounts, only a mm or two. The clouds will keep the high a bit cooler than the previous couple days at only around 17°C. Sunday night will be mainly cloudy with the temperatures dropping to about 10°C.
