A persistant Arctic vortex over the Eastern Arctic will continue reinforcing a westerly to northwesterly flow over the Prairies which has been bringing cooler summer weather to Southern Manitoba. Multiple disturbances are forecast to track down in the northwesterly flow which will produce a showery second half to the week.

We’ll see a fairly cloudy day today as temperatures climb to only around 22°C. A trough of low pressure will work it’s way into and through the Red River Valley bringing scattered showers with the risk of a thunderstorm through much of the day and the early evening. No severe weather is expected. Skies should clear overnight as we drop to a low of around 13°C.
On Thursday a second – more potent – system will begin working it’s way through the province. Clouds will roll in early on Thursday as an upper disturbance tracks an area of rain through the Interlake. Here in the Red River Valley we’ll likely see another round of scattered showers starting midday with the winds picking up out of the north to around 30km/h with gusts to 50 or 60km/h. Thunderstorms aren’t expected and we’ll see a high near 21°C. Things will clear out overnight as we head to a low of about 11°C.
Friday will bring more stable weather with mainly sunny skies and a high of 22°C. Winds will continue to be breezy through the morning but should begin to let up in the afternoon. Things look very pleasant through the weekend with mainly sunny skies and highs in the mid–20’s with overnight lows in the 12–13°C range.
