Temperatures will climb back up above freezing today in Winnipeg, followed by a push of cooler air that will bring seasonal conditions back to the region.

A low pressure system crossing Manitoba today will bring cloud and mild temperatures to Winnipeg today. Skies will stay mostly cloudy today as temperatures climb to a high around +3 °C. Southerly winds of 30—40 km/h will stick around for much of the day, not easing until later this afternoon. Skies will stay mostly cloudy tonight with temperatures dipping to a seasonably mild low near -4 °C.

Saturday will bring mainly cloudy skies to the city again as a new disturbance tracks towards the region and cooler air slumps into the region. Highs will top out around the freezing mark today with light northwest winds. A fast moving upper-level disturbance will move into the region on Thursday evening, spreading light snow across southern Manitoba. Temperatures will dip to a low near -10 °C overnight as winds pick up out of the northwest into the 20—30 km/h range. Many areas across southern Manitoba will see 2–4 cm of snow by the time it tapers off early Friday morning.

Skies will finally clear out on Friday as the upper-level disturbance tracks off to the east. In its wake, Winnipeg will see partly cloudy skies and easing winds as a sprawling Arctic high pushes into the region. Temperatures will be near-seasonal with a high around -5 °C. The city should see mainly clear skies on Friday night with temperatures dropping to a low near -13 °C.
