Significantly cooler weather will move into the Winnipeg area as a major low pressure system that brought a bevy of severe thunderstorms to Western & Interlake Manitoba yesterday pushes eastwards through over the coming days.
Today’s weather will be dominated by a large upper-level low moving across Southern Manitoba. This morning will start off mainly sunny through the Red River Valley as the system’s dry slot moves through, but as the day progresses cloud will build into the region from the northwest. Along with the cloud will come widespread shower activity that will persist well into the evening hours.
Temperatures will be much cooler than yesterday as a westerly wind of 20-30km/h that strengthens to 30 gusting 50km/h in the evening ushers in cooler air from the north. Temperatures will reach a high near 22 or 23°C today and head to a low near 12°C tonight. The shower activity across the Red River Valley should taper off late overnight.
Thursday will be another cool day with mixed skies and a daytime high near 20°C. There will be a slight chance of a light isolated shower as the remaining instability is flushed out of the region, but nothing significant is expected. Temperatures will be cool on Thursday night as they dip to around 9°C under mainly clear skies.
Looking Ahead to The Weekend
The coming weekend is looking fairly pleasant with plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures in the mid- to upper-20’s and very chances of rain as weather disturbances track to our north across Central Manitoba and to our south through the Dakotas.
Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 24°C while the seasonal overnight low is 10°C.
