A trough of low pressure pushing across Southern Manitoba today will spread light snow into the Red River Valley this morning.
The overall pattern will flatten out after this system, bringing us out of the warm-cold roller coaster and back into a more stable — albeit slightly below normal — temperature pattern.
Today
-8°C / -14°C
Light snow starting this morning. Flurries this evening & overnight.
We’ll see a cloudy start to the day with snow pushing towards Winnipeg & the Red River Valley from the west and northwest. Light snow should push into the area by mid-morning. The heaviest snow will occur midday before tapering off through the afternoon. We’ll climb to a high temperature around –8°C today, which is still a couple degrees below normal for this time of year. The organized snow will move off by the evening, however lingering scattered flurries will likely persist through the evening and overnight periods. Skies will remain mainly cloudy until either late overnight or early tomorrow morning. All in all, not too much snow is expected, with around 2-3cm likely but with 5cm possible as an outside chance.
Thursday & Friday
-10°C / -16°C
Mainly sunny.
-10°C / -13°C
Mainly sunny.
We’ll move into a quieter, more stable pattern for the remainder of the work week with a slowly weakening northwesterly flow aloft. We’ll see mostly sunny skies both Thursday and Friday with daytime highs near –10°C. We may see some light snow on Friday night as a weak warm front pushes across Southern Manitoba.
The Weekend
A broad area of low pressure will be in place across the Prairies this weekend bringing some cloud and slightly warmer temperatures. Models are showing a slight chance of more snow to start next week with an Alberta clipper racing along the 49th. As always, we’ll be keeping an eye on things!
