Drier Weather to Start the Week

This week will start out on a drier note after the heavy rains of the weekend left many parts of southern Manitoba in a very soggy state.

This Week

Today will be mainly sunny with temperatures climbing into the low twenties. The sunshine will be welcomed by many in southern Manitoba as it will give a chance for many water logged areas to dry out. Winds will be northwesterly at 20-30 km/h.

Tuesday will feature much the same weather as today, with temperatures in the low twenties and mainly sunny skies. Winds will be a bit lighter however, making it an even better day.

Wednesday’s weather is the most uncertain of the early week period. Most models suggest southern Manitoba will see mainly sunny conditions with temperatures in the mid twenties. However, an area of precipitation is expected to pass to our south. Should the forecast shift that precipitation northward, we could see more rain. At this time that does not appear likely, but it is something to bear in mind.

Long Range

The long range forecast continues to show us in a generally above-seasonal pattern through the end of June. However, we are also forecast to remain near the storm track through month’s end, suggesting more wet weather may be on the way later this month. Forecasting weather in the long range can be quite difficult in summer, so unfortunately you’ll just have to take the conditions as they come to some extent.
