A broad trough of low pressure will push eastwards across the Prairies bringing with it milder temperatures and the occasional chance for some more light snow.
-7°C / -14°C
Mainly cloudy with flurries.
-8°C / -12°C
Mixed skies; slight chance of isolated flurries.
-8°C / -10°C
Cloudy with a chance of scattered flurries.
We’ll see fairly cloudy skies today alongside an increasingly brisk southerly wind to 30–40km/h as a warm front approaches the Red River Valley from the west. This front will produce an area of 5–10cm of snow through the Interlake and areas west and north, but here in the Red River Valley we’ll see some periods of light snow with no significant accumulations expected. Temperatures will climb to around –7°C as the winds ease up in the afternoon and see gradual clearing through the evening and overnight as the mercury then drops to about –14°C.
Saturday will bring a few remnant clouds in the Red River Valley that will possibly produce some isolated flurries, but it should end up being a mostly sunny day with light winds and a high near –8°C.
Cloud will roll in on Saturday night as a low-pressure system begins working it’s way across North Dakota. The accumulating snow is expected to remain States-side at this point, with just some light snow working it’s way north of the border. Minimal accumulations are expected at this point, although regions close to the U.S. border could possibly see a cm or two of the white stuff if the system tracks just a smidgen further north.
The Start of Next Week
The first half of next week looks to bring some very mild air into Southern Manitoba with temperatures climbing as high as low minus-single-digits on Monday! It will be short-lived, however, as a significant cold trough begins working it’s way into the Prairies and brings below-normal temperatures for the second half of the week.
