A series of disturbances are set to track into Southern Manitoba through the remainder of the week, brining numerous chances for showers & thunderstorms to the region over the coming days.
Today will start with some sunshine for Winnipeg, but as the day progresses skies will become increasingly cloudy as a disturbance pushes northwards out of North Dakota. Before the sun is hidden away behind the cloud, Winnipeg will reach a warm daytime high near 24°C. By mid-afternoon, showers and/or thunderstorms will be pushing northwards through the Red River Valley, likely reaching Winnipeg for the evening rush hour.
The rainy weather will continue overnight and into Thursday, gradually tapering off by Thursday evening. Expect a low near 14°C tonight, a high near 18°C on Thursday, and a low near 12°C on Thursday night.
The sun should make an appearance again on Friday, returning daytime highs back to the mid-20's. There will be a chance for some showers or an isolated thundershower on Friday afternoon. A weak disturbance moving into the region on Friday night will once again bring the chance for more rain on Friday night.
By the time all is said and done, a fair amount of rain is possible over the coming days throughout the Red River Valley. In general, it's likely that most places will see somewhere between 10-30 mm of rain over the coming 3 days, however with the convective nature of some of the precipitation, it's possible that some areas exceed these amounts and end up closer to the 50 mm mark. Where that may be will depend on exactly how this system sets up, so we'll keep an eye on it and provide updates in the comments below.
