Seasonably Mild Temperatures Continue

Winnipeg will continue to see seasonably mild temperatures with variable cloudiness right through the end of the week.

A weak low pressure system moving into the province will keep skies mostly cloudy in Winnipeg today. Temperatures will be well above seasonal values, though, with the city reaching a high near -1°C. Winds will be breezy, picking up out of the southeast to 30 gusting 50 km/h for the afternoon. The city will likely see a bit of light snow as the low passes through this evening. Winds will ease for the night, leaving cloudy skies and a chance for some fog patches or freezing drizzle. Temperatures will dip to a low near -4°C.

Thursday will see westerly winds near 20 km/h that clear the cloud out of the region. Temperatures will be mild again with a high near -3°C with the winds diminishing in the afternoon. Winnipeg will see a few clouds in the evening followed by temperatures dropping to a low near -7°C.

This map of forecasted 850mb temperature anomalies shows how by the end of the week, almost the entirety of Canada will be underneath a warmer than seasonal air mass.

Friday will bring partly cloudy skies to the city with a high near -2°C. Winds will remain light out of the south through the day. A bit more cloud might end up pushing into the region on Friday night with temperatures dropping to a low near -7°C once again.

Long Range Outlook

Another low pressure system will track across the northern Prairies this weekend, allowing mild Pacific air to continue spreading across the south. As a result, temperatures will continue to remain well above seasonal values right through the weekend with variable cloudiness. The mild temperatures look to continue right through much of next week at this point with no major snowfall events on the horizon.

Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently -9°C while the seasonal overnight low is -19°C.
