It look like a major warm-up will usher in the month of April. These warmer conditions come after an abnormally cold March.
…April fools! No major warm-up is in the cards this week, so read on to see what you can actually expect.
Monday
Mix of sun and cloud. Chance of flurries.
-6°C / -12°C
Monday will be a very similar day to Sunday. The lower atmosphere will once again be quite unstable, so flurries will be possible throughout Southern Manitoba. These flurries will be fairly localized in nature and will not affect everyone. Those areas not under the influence of these flurries will see a mainly sunny day, while other areas will see a combination of clouds and flurries as well as periods of sunnier skies. Generally speaking, high temperatures will be in the mid to upper minus single digits, making it a seasonably cold start to April.
Tuesday and Wednesday
Mainly Sunny
-4°C / -8°C
Mix of sun and cloud. Chance of flurries.
2°C / -10°C
Tuesday will be slightly warmer than Monday, but not by much. Highs will be in the mid single digits in most areas. The wind will be calm and the sky sunny, so the cities and forested areas will once again be slightly warmer than everyone else.
We will finally warm up to the melting point again on Wednesday, but it won’t be a major warm-up. All of Southern Manitoba should see high temperatures in the low to mid positive single digits.
Long Range
In the longer range models are struggling to resolve the pattern. It appears fairly certain that a cold front will come through on Wednesday night, making Thursday a cooler day once again. However, beyond that things are quite unclear. Some model runs have been showing consistently warmer weather into next weekend, while others have shown cold weather persisting. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens…
