Those looking for warmer, summer-like weather are going to have to look elsewhere as the unsettled, below-normal temperatures we’ve become so familliar are set to continue through the next week or two.
We’ll see mixed skies today as cloud cover pushes westwards from Northern Ontario as the Colorado Low that’s been the genesis for the massive tornado outbreak in the Deep South over the past few days. Closer to home the weather won’t be dangerous in the least; we’ll see just a slight chance of some shower activity pushing into the Red River Valley from the east. We’ll see a high near 9 or 10°C with winds out of the north at 30 gusting 50km/h. Things will clear out tonight as we drop to around 0°C.
Thursday will be quite similar to Tuesday: mainly sunny, a high near 10°C and a bit of a wind out of the east. Otherwise quite unremarkable. We’ll drop to near 0°C on Thursday night.
Friday will bring the next batch of slightly unsettled weather as a disturbance slumps southeastwards out of the Northern Prairies. Our temperature will once again climb to around 10°C, but we’ll see more cloud than sun and what, at this point, looks to be a decent chance of some more shower activity. Expect a low near – surprise! – 0°C once again.
Cool Weekend
Things become sunnier for the weekend, but temperatures don’t look to improve for the weekend. Any potentially lingering shower activity will move off on Saturday morning, leaving us with some sunshine and a high near 9°C. Sunday will be mainly sunny with a high near 10 or 11°C.
The below-normal temperatures[1] will continue through the next week. Another chance for rainfall looks to move into the region early next week as a low pressure system works it’s way thorugh the Northern Plains of the United States.
- Normal daytime highs for this time of year are around 16°C. ↩
