The Week

Today will be a great day in southern Manitoba. High temperatures in the mid to upper twenties are expected with sunny skies. Winds will be light from the west. Today may end up being one of the nicer days this week, so enjoy it!

Tuesday will see temperatures in the mid twenties, but with increasing cloudiness through the day as a low pressure system begins moving into the region. Winds will be breezy out of the south-east at 20 km/h gusting to 40 km/h ahead of this system. Rain is expected to move into southern Manitoba on Tuesday night with this next system.

Wednesday will see rain ending from the aforementioned low pressure system. At this potential rainfall accumulations remain uncertain, so check back tomorrow for more details. Once the rain ends skies will remain mainly cloudy with temperatures in the upper teens. Winds will be from the north at 20-30 km/h.

Long Range

The long range forecast shows warmer weather returning late this week. Models are also hinting at our next risk of thunderstorms developing on Thursday and/or Friday with the approach of an upper trough moving in from western North America. We’ll have more details about this risk later in the week. Besides the thunderstorm risk, long range models generally show above seasonal temperatures for the remainder of June, although some cooler stretches are likely to be interspersed with the warmer ones.
