Winnipeg will see a cloudier, cooler back half of the work week in the wake of a low pressure system that crossed the province yesterday.
Winnipeg will see light northerly winds today as cooler temperatures push into the region with a weak ridge. Skies will vary from cloudy to mixed as temperatures climb to a high near +1 °C. Winds will ease from 20–30 km/h early this morning to light early in the evening. Temperatures will dip to a low near -6 °C tonight with mixed skies.
On Thursday, another weak low moving through will drag a cold front southeastwards across the province, bringing more cloud and a chance of flurries to the city. Temperatures will return to seasonal values with a high near -3 °C. Winds will be more of a nuisance, picking up out of the northwest to 30–40 km/h midday. An area of high pressure will move into the province on Thursday night, bringing easing winds and clearing skies. Winnipeg should see a low near -13 °C on Thursday night.
That area of high pressure will largely dominate the weather on Friday, bringing sunny skies and southerly winds of 20–30 km/h to the region. Temperatures will climb back to a high near +2 °C. Skies will stay mostly clear on Friday night with a low near -5 °C.
Long Range Outlook
A warm weekend is in store for southern Manitoba as another upper ridge builds across the Prairies. Temperatures will climb back well above freezing with mainly sunny skies this weekend. Slightly cooler weather is forecast to move in to start next week, but temperatures are still expected to stay generally seasonably mild.
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is -3 °C while the seasonal overnight low is -13 °C.
