This week will feature near seasonal weather for early October. Temperatures will hover in the mid teens.
Monday
Today will feature mainly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid teens. There will be a chance of showers throughout the day as a strong upper low sits to our west. Precipitation accumulations are not expected to be significant. Winds will be southwesterly at 20km/h.
Tuesday
Tuesday will be mainly sunny with temperatures once again in the mid teens. A surface ridge of high pressure will be responsible for the sunshine. Winds will be breezy from the north-west at 20km/h.
Wednesday
Wednesday will be mainly cloudy with a chance of rain late in the day. An approaching low pressure system may generate an area of rainfall over southern Manitoba later on Wednesday, possibly bringing light to moderate rainfall accumulations to the region. Stay tuned for further details as we get closer to this event.
Long Range
The long range forecast continues to suggest above normal weather for Manitoba over the next few weeks. The current pattern of above-seasonal weather may be partially the result of the El Nino conditions in the Pacific Ocean. As we push further into the fall, it is expected that the El Nino will begin to exert more noticeable effects on our weather.
