This week will start out with mild weather in southern Manitoba while a major storm system passes just to our south.
Monday
Today will feature nice weather in southern Manitoba. Temperatures will be near the zero degree mark with light winds. However, just to our south a major storm will be taking shape. This storm is expected to bring heavy snow to the Dakotas and Minnesota. There is still uncertainty about where the heaviest snow will fall, but if you have travel plans into the northern United States early this week you’ll definitely want to check the weather forecast along your route.
Tuesday
Tuesday will be another mild day in southern Manitoba. Temperatures will once again be near the freezing mark with a light northerly flow. As you might expect, this north wind will be generated by that big storm to the south.
Wednesday
Wednesday will be another mild day, with temperatures generally just below freezing. We should finally be clear of the storm system from earlier in the week, with clear skies being the order of the day. The wind will be from the north-west, but it won’t be particularly strong.
Long Range
Unfortunately, the long range forecast suggests a return to more wintry conditions for awhile. Most long-range guidance shows cool to cold conditions for the end of March. It remains unclear how the month of April will unfold.
