A Weather Moment

Mild weather continues in Winnipeg with only a brief cool-down in the latter half of the week.

A series of low pressure systems passing through the Prairies will maintain seasonably mild temperatures to start the new work week. Winnipeg will see a mild start to the day with temperatures near freezing climb to a high of +3°C this afternoon. Moderate southerly winds near 30 km/h will ease through the morning, followed by light winds for the afternoon as a trough moves into the Red River Valley. Skies will be mainly cloudy but a few sunny breaks are possible, particularly midday into the early afternoon. The cloud cover will thicken up later in the day with a chance of rain showers through the evening hours.

Skies will stay cloudy overnight with light westerly winds. Winnipeg should see a low near 0°C.

Tuesday will bring cloudy skies to the city with light west-northwest winds as a low spins its way into northeastern Manitoba. There won’t be much going on weather-wise; Winnipeg will see a high near +2°C and cloud. A cold front will push into the region on Tuesday night, keeping skies cloudy and bringing a chance of flurries to the region overnight. Winnipeg will see a low near -4°C.

Cooler air will continue streaming southwards on Wednesday, bringing with it cloudy skies with the chance of flurries. Winds will persist out of the northwest at 20 to 30 km/h while temperatures hover around -4°C. The cloud cover will begin to break up overnight as temperatures head to a low near -10°C.

Long Range Outlook

A cooler air mass will be in place over the region on Wednesday, bringing high temperatures in -5 to -10°C range. Fortunately, the cool-down will be short-lived with highs back near the freezing mark returning on Friday and persisting through the weekend.

A longer stretch of mild temperatures near the freezing mark should persist through the middle of next week with variable cloudiness and no notable rain or snow events. Time to enjoy a pleasant stretch of weather heading into the end of November!

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is -3°C while the seasonal overnight low is -10°C.

After a seasonably cool Friday, milder temperatures and cloud cover will move into southern Manitoba for the weekend.

Another Arctic high moving through the province will bring cooler temperatures back to Winnipeg today. Temperatures will climb to a high near -5°C today with light winds gradually increasing out of the southeast to around 30 km/h by the evening. The city will see a mix of sun and cloud today, but a warm front moving into the region will spread overcast skies into the region this evening. The southerly winds will continue tonight with temperatures rising to around -2°C by Saturday morning.

Skies will stay mostly cloudy right through the weekend as a series of low pressure systems works their way across the Prairies. Saturday will bring seasonably mild conditions to the Red River Valley with a high near +2°C in Winnipeg. Winds will taper off on Saturday afternoon, then pick up out of the northwest to around 30 km/h overnight as a weak cold front pushes through. There will be a chance for a few flurries as the front moves through, but no more than a centimetre or two should accumulate. Temperatures will dip to a low near -6°C on Saturday night.

Winds will ease on Sunday with mostly cloudy skies and a slightly cooler [seasonal] high near -2°C. Skies will stay cloudy on Sunday night as another low pushes across the northern Prairies; mild temperatures will persist with a low near -4°C in Winnipeg.

Long Range Outlook

Winnipeg could see a bit of rain or snow on Monday with temperatures likely climbing back above 0°C again. It looks like a cloudy first half of the week is in store for Winnipeg as mild temperatures near freezing sticking around until the later half of the week. Some snow looks possible mid-week as a cold front swings through on Wednesday.

The sun should reappear in the second half of the week as Winnipeg moves into a stretch of near-seasonal temperatures.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is -2°C while the seasonal overnight low is -9°C.
