Quiet Weekend Ahead

Brad Leave a comment

The weather will be fairly quiet this weekend as no significant weather systems are expected to track through the region.

Friday

Mix of sun and cloud.
-5°C / -10°C
Saturday

Mix of sun and cloud, slight chance of a flurry.
-5°C / -15°C
Sunday

Mainly sunny.
-10°C / -14°C

We’ll see a mix of sun and cloud today as temperatures climb up to around 5°C as a weak low pressure system exits the province and some cloud begins streaming up ahead of a Colorado Low expected to track through the Dakotas and Minnesota. Temperatures will drop close to –10°C tonight under mostly cloudy skies.

We’ll see a mix of sun and cloud on Saturday as we sit on the northern fringe of the Colorado Low passing through the states. There’s a very slight chance of some scattered light flurries, but it’s very unlikely should any develop that they’ll end up producing any accumulating snowfall. Temperatures will once again climb to around –5°C and drop down to around –15°C Saturday night as skies clear with the Colorado Low moving off towards Southern Ontario.

Sunday will be the coolest day we’ve had in a while. While earlier in the week it looked as if it would be quite mild by weekend’s end, it turns out that the Colorado Low will pull down cooler Arctic across Southern Manitoba. Highs will climb to –8°C under mainly sunny skies.

A Return To Seasonal Weather

After a surprisingly cold day yesterday, we’ll be quickly returning to seasonal temperatures over the next couple days with little weather to worry about.

12hr. QPF valid Thursday at 18Z

12 hour precipitation accumulation from the RDPS model valid near lunch time on Thursday. The RDPS is forecasting roughly 1–3cm of snow over Western Manitoba as a cold trough lingers over the area.
Wednesday

Increasing cloud.
-17°C / -20°C

Some cloud will push in today as another disturbance begins to push into the region but our highs will still remain below normal, sitting at about –17°C for most of the Red River Valley. Winds will remain fairly light out of the south through the day. Temperatures will drop only a few degrees tonight to about –20°C thanks to lingering cloud cover.

Thursday

Becoming cloudy.
-10°C / -15°C

We’ll see a return to normal temperatures Thursday as warmer air continues to work it’s way into Manitoba. Highs will sit near –10°C under a mix of sun and clouds. The cloud will be from a system to our west which is not expected to impact the Red River Valley but will bring some light snow to southwestern Manitoba. Skies will remain fairly cloudy overnight as we drop to –15°C.

Friday

Friday

Mix of sun and cloud.
-9°C / -13°C

Friday will once again bring a mix of sun and cloud. Almost a carbon copy of the day before, our daytime high should get up to around –9°C. Temperatures will drop to only about –13°C on Friday night as we head into a pleasant weekend with seasonal temperatures of around –8°C expected and little chance of snow.

Enjoy the return to seasonal temperatures and get out there and enjoy Festival du Voyageur or go for a skate down on the river! If you didn’t see it yesterday, be sure to check out our special post yesterday summarizing the Louis Riel Day blizzard.
