Showers to Start the Week

We’ll see some shower activity today as a frontal zone remains stalled through southern Manitoba. Conditions will improve rapidly by Tuesday however, as sunny skies return.

Monday

We will receive some light rain today as a frontal zone is draped through southern Manitoba. Rainfall accumulations will be small in general, not amounting to more than a few millimetres in most cases. Despite the rain, temperatures will climb into the low teens under mainly cloudy skies and light winds.

Tuesday

Tuesday looks to be a beautiful day as temperatures climb into the mid to upper teens under mainly sunny skies. Winds will remain as we sit under a surface high, making for very nice conditions!

Wednesday

Wednesday looks to be even nicer than Tuesday, as temperatures climb into the low twenties under mainly sunny skies. Winds will be a bit stronger than on Tuesday, but not by a lot. An approaching low pressure system will be responsible for pumping these increasingly warm temperatures into Manitoba.

Long Range

Weather models suggest we’ll continue to see above-seasonal temperatures for the remainder of the week. Further out into the long-range the forecast is a bit uncertain, so I won’t delve into that right now. Get out and enjoy what should be a great week (aside from Monday)!
