A series of low pressure systems will bring cooler weather to Winnipeg for the weekend.
A cold front sweeping through the Red River Valley will bring substantially cooler temperatures to Winnipeg today. The front will move through this morning and usher in moderate northwest winds up to 40 gusting 60 km/h and cloudier skies. Those northwest winds will bring notably cooler temperatures to the region; Winnipeg will see a below-seasonal high around 18 °C.
Skies will clear this evening with easing winds. Temperatures will head to a low near 9 °C.
Temperatures will rebound back to seasonal values on Saturday. A weak warm front pushing into the region will send Winnipeg’s high to around 24 °C. The city will see plenty of sun with partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. Temperatures will head to a low near 14 °C on Saturday night with rain likely beginning by Sunday morning.
Sunday will likely bring morning rain to Winnipeg as a frontal wave passes along the international border. The city could see as much as 5 to 10 mm of rain before it eases midday. For the second half of the day, the cloud cover will begin to break up as moderate northerly winds of 40–50 km/h develop. These winds will keep the temperature cooler as well; Winnipeg will see a high near 17 °C on Sunday.
Skies will clear with a low near 6 °C on Sunday night. The wind is forecast to ease into the 20–30 km/h range overnight.
