It’s more late-season warmth ahead for Winnipeg with sunny skies and highs in the mid- to upper-20s.

An upper ridge will build over Manitoba in the coming days, bringing yet more late-season warmth to the region. Temperatures will climb into the mid- to upper-20s over the next few days with plenty of sunshine. Winds will be light today, but moderate southerlies will develop on Tuesday. The wind will pick up to around 40 gusting 60 km/h tomorrow, then ease into the 30–40 km/h range tomorrow night. The wind will stay breezy on Wednesday out of the south at 30 gusting 50 km/h.

Very warm conditions will spread across the southern Prairies on Tuesday.

Overnight lows will also be seasonably mild, dipping down into the 10–15 °C range over the coming nights.

This pattern will begin to break down later this week as a large upper trough begins to swing into the region from the west. The warm weather will linger to the end of the work week, but with an increased chance of showers beginning on Friday. Temperatures will return to near-seasonal values this weekend with a few more chances of showers.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 14 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 2 °C.

October will start off with very pleasant conditions across southern Manitoba.

And…that’s about it. It’s a beautiful few days ahead for the region.

Long Range Outlook

The warm weather will continue into next week as another upper ridge builds into the region. While its too early to say at this point, the high-amplitude upper flow may bring some more smoke into the region such as was seen yesterday. There’s also the potential for flare-ups of regional fires as the warm and dry conditions continue for the coming week.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 15 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 3 °C.

Warmth Returns on the Weekend

Winnipeg will return to cooler seasonal temperatures today, but more warmth will build back in this weekend.

The city will see breezy northwest winds up to 30 gusting 50 km/h today. These winds are ushering in a cooler air mass behind a cold front that passed through the area yesterday evening. As a result, daytime highs will be noticeably cooler at around 15 °C. The wind will ease this evening, then temperatures will dip to a low near 4 °C.

Cold Front Brings Seasonal Temperatures

After a warm Friday, a cold front will slump through the region and usher seasonal temperatures back into the region.

It will be a beautiful late-summer day in Winnipeg today as breezy southerly winds ease this morning and temperatures head to a high in the upper 20s. Skies should be partly cloudy through the day, but trend cloudier towards the evening as a cold front approaches. As the front pushes through, it will bring a slight chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm to the region, followed by northwest winds picking up to around 30 km/h. Those winds will gradually ease into the evening as temperatures head to a low near 10 °C.

Southern Manitoba will see a warm late-summer day on Friday before more seasonal temperatures return.

An area of high pressure associated with an air mass of more seasonal temperatures will build into the province through the weekend. On Saturday, northwesterly winds will pick back up to around 30 gusting 50 km/h as temperatures head to a high around the 20 °C mark. Skies should stay mainly sunny through the day. The winds will taper off in the evening, then temperatures will head to a low near 6 °C under clear skies.

On Sunday, the area of high pressure will move across the province. Temperatures will again climb to a high around the 20 °C mark, but winds will be much lighter. Skies will also likely be mixed as a bit of cloud from a system passing by through the Dakotas drifts across the region. Skies should clear on Sunday night with a low near 10 °C again.

Long Range Outlook

The extended outlook continues to show near-seasonal temperatures, trending slightly on the warmer side. A system passing through the region may bring some afternoon/evening showers on Monday, then the city should see another couple of nice days. A few showers are possible again in the second half of the work week.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 19 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 7 °C.
