Monday will be a day of transition, as a strong Colorado Low to our south moves off into Ontario, causing a cooler air mass to filter into Southern Manitoba. It won’t be a super-cold day, but definitely chillier than the conditions experienced on the weekend. Skies will clear through the day as low-level moisture is gradually removed from the area. There may be a bit of light snow in the morning, but otherwise no precipitation is expected.

Tuesday looks to a rather mild day in Southern Manitoba, with high temperatures around the zero mark in many areas. Parts of south-western Manitoba are most favoured to get up to, or slightly above, zero. In the Red River Valley temperatures will be in the low minus single digits, with some areas potentially getting just up to the freezing mark.

We’ll see one more warm day on Wednesday, though the warm conditions will be tempered by another batch of snow. An Alberta Clipper will roll through on Wednesday, bringing light to moderate snowfall to Southern Manitoba. This could be a fairly significant snowfall in some areas, but it’s too early to give a more precise forecast with numerical accumulations. Temperatures will remain quite mild in spite of the, with highs generally in the low minus single digits in most areas.

It looks like this clipper will draw down another cold air mass which will stick around for awhile. Colder weather is expected to last into next weekend.
