Pleasant Late-Summer Weather Ahead

Brad Leave a comment

Winnipeg will see variable cloudiness and seasonal temperatures through the remainder of the work week.

Great early September weather is on tap for Winnipeg today as temperatures climb to a high near 23°C with plenty of sunshine. Winds will also be light out of the south at 15 to 20 km/h. The cloud cover will thicken up this evening ahead of a low pressure system arriving from Saskatchewan. Winnipeg shouldn’t see any rain tonight; the precipitation with this system is forecast to split and pass through the southern Interlake and into the United States. A few showers may be possible in the Red River Valley with increasing likeliness towards the U.S. border. Temperatures will dip to a low near 14°C with light winds.

Skies will gradually clear out on Thursday morning, leaving the city with partly cloudy to mixed skies in the afternoon. Winds will stay light out of east-northeast as temperatures climb to a high near 22°C. Winnipeg will see a few clouds through Thursday night as a cold front sweeps across the Red River Valley. This front will likely stay dry as it pushes southeast, but northwesterly winds near 20 km/h will develop. Temperatures will dip to a low near 14°C again.

Winnipeg will see partly cloudy skies again on Friday but those northwest winds will strengthen to around 30 km/h for the afternoon. Temperatures will continue the slight cooling trend with a high near 21°C. Firmly in the cooler air on Friday night, temperatures will be colder with lows dropping into the mid-single digits.

Long Range Outlook

It’ll be a cool weekend ahead with mixed to cloudy skies and highs in the mid- to upper-teens. Conditions look dry with light winds. Kick off next week will be another significant low pressure system that has the potential to bring 10 to 20 mm of rain to the region on Monday into Monday night.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 21°C while the seasonal overnight low is 8°C.

Pleasant Summer Weather Ahead

Winnipeg will see a stretch of pleasant summer weather through the second half of the work week.

Seasonably warm weather will be in place for Winnipeg over the next few days with highs near or above average. Starting with a high near 25°C today, temperatures will slowly climb into the upper 20’s for the end of the week. Overnight lows start at a near-seasonal 13°C tonight and then increase into the mid-teens for the rest of the week.

Of the next few days, Winnipeg will see variable cloudiness with mainly sunny to mixed skies. As far as chances for rain, the days look good but both tonight and Thursday night bring chances of light showers moving through as weak disturbances ripple across the region. On Friday, a cold front will sweep across the Red River Valley through the evening, bringing a more organized chance of showers with it.

Winds will be light over the next couple days, generally picking up out of the west to southwest into the 15 to 25 km/h range during the day. On Friday, winds may end up on the lower end of that range out of the southwest.

So all in all, a bit of a mixed bag, but with much of the cloud and shower chances relegated to the nights it will be fairly pleasant set of days! No humid conditions are in the forecast.

Long Range Outlook

Cloudier conditions will move in behind the cold front on Saturday along with cooler temperatures with highs in the low 20s. After that, it looks like a return to seasonal temperatures with generally sunny conditions and comfortable humidity.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 25°C while the seasonal overnight low is 12°C.

Winnipeg will see seasonably cool conditions over the next couple days, but summer warmth returns for the weekend.

Cooler temperatures are in place for the Red River Valley today as an Arctic air mass pushes in from the northwest. Temperatures will climb to a below-seasonal 23°C in Winnipeg today with northwest winds of 30 gusting 50 km/h. The city will see plenty of sun through the day with just partly cloudy skies across the region. A sprawling high pressure system moving into the province will bring low temperatures near 9°C with light winds.

Much of the Canadian Prairies will experience seasonably cool conditions today.

On Thursday, the high pressure system will continue to slowly push eastwards into the province. The city will see mainly sunny skies with northwesterly winds once again near 30 gusting 50 km/h. Winds will ease in the evening as the high pressure system moves into southern Manitoba. Temperatures will dip to a low near 9°C under clear skies.

On Friday, a light southerly return flow will develop as the high exits the region. This will allow warmer temperatures to build back into the region; Winnipeg will see highs climb back up into the upper 20s, likely around 28°C. The city will continue to see plenty of sun, but a few clouds will likely be in place across the region. Temperatures will head to a low near 16°C on Friday night under partly cloudy skies.

Long Range Outlook

The weekend will bring near-seasonal temperatures to the Red River Valley with variable cloudiness. Early indications are that thunderstorms may be possible across the region Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 26°C while the seasonal overnight low is 13°C.

Cool Start to the New Work Week

Brad Leave a comment

Winnipeg will see seasonably cool temperatures to start the new work week, but warmer weather will quickly return.

Breezy northwesterly winds on the backside of a low pressure system that crossed the province yesterday will bring cooler conditions to Winnipeg today. The city will see a cloudier start to the day with a chance of a few showers. Skies will gradually clear through the morning with northwest winds increasing to 30 gusting 50 km/h. Once the sun is out this afternoon, temperatures will climb to a seasonably cool high of 21°C.

A ridge of high pressure will move into the province tonight, bringing light winds and a low near 7°C.

The same ridge of high pressure will bring beautiful weather to the city for Tuesday: plenty of sunshine, light winds, and a seasonal high near 25°C!

A few clouds will likely push into the region on Tuesday night as temperatures head to a low near 12°C.

Hotter conditions will redevelop over southern Manitoba on Wednesday ahead of a low pressure system moving through Saskatchewan. The city will see increasing southerly winds with temperatures climbing to a high near 28°C. Skies should stay partly cloudy through the day with most of this system’s cloud moving across northern Manitoba.

Heading into Wednesday night, the chance for thunderstorms will develop as the region shifts into a more unsettled pattern. Temperatures will stay warm with a low near 18°C. We’ll be able to give a better idea of the chances for thunderstorms in our mid-week forecast.

Long Range Outlook

The rest of the week should see warm weather with increasing humidity. The general pattern will become more unsettled, but it’s far too early to be able to nail down any specific timing for any showers or thunderstorms. In general, though, it appears that the region will head into a warmer stretch with variable cloudiness and the potential for unsettled conditions.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 26°C while the seasonal overnight low is 13°C.
