The weather will remain unexciting as a ridge of high pressure exiting the Prairies gives way to more cloud & flurry activity. Snowfall may become slightly more organized by the end of the week, but no significant events are in the forecast.
Today will bring sunny skies and a high near -10°C. Winds will be calm.
Skies will remain clear tonight as temperatures drop to around -16°C. Winds will remain relatively light.
Thursday will start off fairly sunny and become increasingly cloudy through the day. While there’s an ever-so-slight chance of a light flurry through the daytime, the bulk of the activity should hold off until the overnight hours. Temperatures will climb to around -9°C with relatively light winds.
Temperatures will remain fairly steady near -9°C on Thursday night with some flurries looking fairly likely.
Friday will be the warmest day of the week with temperatures climbing to around -5°C. It will also be cloudy with a very good chance of light snow thanks to a weak upper-level trough sliding across the province. Temperatures will dip to around -8°C on Friday night with cloudy skies and a chance of continued flurry activity.
Despite all the snow in the forecast, little of it will accumulate. Friday stands the best chance at seeing something, but even then it would only be a cm or so at most.
Not Much Between Now And Christmas
The weather, in general, is looking quite unremarkable between now and Christmas.
The temperature outlook continues to be seasonal with no dramatic swings over the next while. Snow-wise, no significant systems look to impact southern Manitoba between here and Christmas. Through the first half of next week it looks like a weak inverted trough may bring a couple of days of light snow or flurry activity to the province, but once again it looks like it would produce little in the way of accumulations.
So in lieu of any interesting weather, get out there and enjoy what is shaping up, for December, to be an exceedingly bearable winter!
