Winnipeg will see pleasant conditions this weekend with seasonably cool temperatures and variable cloud cover.

The cold weather that moved into the region yesterday has already left with a more seasonal air mass taking its place.

Skies will remain clear tonight with light winds as temperatures dip to a low near -18°C.

More sunshine is on tap for Saturday with a southerly flow developing ahead of yet warmer air trying to push into the region. Temperatures will climb to a high near -10°C with southerly winds near 20 km/h. Skies will cloud over on Saturday night as temperatures dip to a low near -16°C.

Sunday will bring cloudy skies to Winnipeg as a weak upper trough moves through. The city might see a few light flurries, but there won’t be any accumulating snowfall. Temperatures will be a bit cooler with a high back near -10°C. Winds will be light. The cloud cover should stick around on Sunday night with a low near -15°C.

Long Range Outlook

After the upper trough moves through on Friday, warmer air will continue to spread eastwards across the Prairies. With variable cloudiness, next wee should bring high temperatures generally around -5°C with lows near -10°C. Some days may be cloudier than others, but no major snowfall events are forecast right now. All things considered, it’s quite a pleasant start to December!

Winnipeg will see a gradual shift towards cooler conditions over the coming days as an Arctic high builds southwards into the province.

The system that brought the first notable snowfall of the season to Winnipeg of almost 10 cm will continue to slowly move eastwards into north-western Ontario today. In its wake, an Arctic high pressure system will slowly build southwards out of Nunavut into Manitoba. This high pressure system will bring cooler temperatures back into the province by the end of the weekend.

Today, Winnipeg will see mixed skies with some morning sun followed by clouds later in the day. Temperatures will climb to a seasonal high near -6°C. Cloudy skies will persist tonight with lows dipping to around -9°C this evening.

Saturday will bring mixed skies as morning cloud breaks to let some mid- to late-day sun shine through. Temperatures will reach a high near -5°C with light northerly winds. Temperatures will head to a low near -11°C tonight with a few clouds around.

A broad Arctic high will slowly build southwards into Manitoba through the weekend.

Long Range Outlook

Winnipeg will continue to see near-seasonal temperatures to start next week.
