After reaching a balmy high of 19.8°C on Saturday, but a cold front ushered in northerly winds that gusted up to 56 km/h, sending temperatures on a steady downward spiral back to sub-zero temperatures by Sunday afternoon. The cooler weather won’t stick around for too long as temperatures are set to gradually return to near-seasonal values.

Fortunately, the cooler temperatures will be offset by a fair amount of sunshine. Today will kick off the week with mainly sunny skies through the day and a below-seasonal high of just 6°C. Any north wind that’s left over this morning will taper off midday, leaving things pretty pleasant despite the cooler temperatures. Temperatures will then dip to around -2°C tonight under mixed skies as some cloud spreads into the region ahead of the next disturbance moving across the Prairies.

Tuesday will bring partly cloudy skies to Winnipeg—likely a bit cloudier in the morning giving way to sunnier in the afternoon—and warmer temperatures with the high climbing to around 10°C. More cloud will push back in on Tuesday night as a shortwave rolls into the region. Temperatures will dip to a low near +2°C with a chance of showers persisting into Wednesday morning.

Wednesday will bring clearing skies through the morning as the shortwave moves out of the region. Temperatures will be quite mild with highs returning back towards 14 or 15°C. Temperatures will dip to a low near +3°C on Wednesday night under partly cloudy skies.

Long Range

The mild weather continues through to the end of the week, but by Thursday night the chance for precipitation begins to ramp up through the region. There’s still a lot of uncertainty as to what may happen; once again some models are slamming the region with rain and/or snow, while others keep us fairly dry. We’ll be keeping an eye on it; for now, enjoy the improving weather!

Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 9°C while the seasonal overnight low is -3°C.

More mild weather lies ahead for Winnipeg, but unfortunately the sun will be in short supply as plenty of cloud stick around for the next few days.

Today will bring plenty of cloud cover to Winnipeg as a disturbance in the Northern Plains spreads cloud cover eastwards across Southern Manitoba. Temperatures will climb to a high near 8°C with winds picking up out of the north to around 20 km/h. A chance for light rain will develop for the afternoon and evening as the disturbance slowly moves by. Temperatures will dip to a low near 0°C tonight. Winds will remain out of the north with cloudy skies.

Saturday will be a bit more pleasant with a high once again near 8°C, but the cloud cover will break up and give Winnipeg more of a mix of sun and cloud. Winds will remain light. On Saturday night the skies will cloud back up as the temperature drops to a low near 5°C.

Sunday will bring cloudy skies back to Winnipeg as a low pressure system tracks across Central Manitoba. Winds will strengthen out of the south to 30-40 km/h ahead of the low with temperatures climbing to a high near 11°C.

There looks to be a fairly good chance for showers midday and into the afternoon as a weak cold front pushes through the region. Expect temperatures to drop to a low near +2°C on Sunday night under clearing skies. Winds will diminish and back to westerly.

Long Range


The long-range forecast looks great with nothing but above-normal temperatures and mainly dry conditions for next week.

Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 5°C while the seasonal overnight low is -6°C.

As advertised earlier in the week, milder weather arrives to the Red River Valley today, however unlike earlier in the week, conditions have trended towards being more unsettled with several chances for rain.

Today will be mild with temperatures climbing to a high near 11°C, but that warmth comes ahead of a disturbance that will bring a chance of showers to the the Red River Valley later today. Winds will be out of the southeast at around 30 km/h, and both the chance of showers and the wind will persist into the evening. Expect a low near 3°C tonight.

The chance for showers will come in two batches, the first very early this morning as overnight development slides through, and the second builds over southwest Manitoba this afternoon and then slides eastwards into the Red River Valley late in the afternoon and into the evening. This second band may persist for a while and feature some moderate rainfall rates, although widespread accumulations will likely remain under the 5-10 mm range.

Thursday will see a similar high to today, but a bit of sunshine should help it feel a bit nicer. Temperatures will reach a high near 11°C as winds taper off in the afternoon. Thursday night will bring increasing cloud as temperatures dip to a low near 4°C.

Friday will be a bit cooler with a high near 8°C under mainly cloudy skies. Winds will gradually increase out of the north to around 20 km/h as a weak ridge of high pressure approaches from the northern Prairies. There looks to be a fairly good chance of some light rain on Friday night as temperatures drop to a low near 2°C.

Long Range

The weekend looks to be a bit of a mixed bag; temperatures will continue mild with highs near the 10°C mark, but skies will bring variable cloudiness and some of Friday night’s light rain may stick around for portions of Saturday morning.

Looking further ahead into next week, there’s a very high chance that we’ll continue to see above-normal temperatures in southern Manitoba. No significant precipitation is expected next week either, so we should see a continued, gradual melt across the region.

Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 4°C while the seasonal overnight low is -7°C.
