Fall-like weather will move into Manitoba this week as moderate westerly winds behind a cold front that moved through yesterday usher out any notion of humidity and bring cool nights back to the region.
Today will be a mild day with a high near 21°C in the Red River Valley, but beneath sunny skies will be a moderate westerly winds of 40 gusting to 60 km/h. Expect to see a few less leaves on some of the trees when the day is done.
Winds will taper off this evening as the temperature heads to a low near 9°C under clear skies.
Tuesday will be another mainly sunny day courtesy a ridge of high pressure moving into the region. Winds may pick up to 20-30 km/h in the morning, but will then taper off in the afternoon as the main ridge axis moves into the Red River Valley. Temperatures will climb once again to a high near 21°C.
Temperatures will head to a low near 10°C on Tuesday night with increasing cloudiness as a low pressure system begins to organize south of the border.
Wednesday will bring mixed to mostly cloudy skies to Winnipeg & the Red River Valley. There will be a chance for some light rain near the International border as this weather system grazes along the 49th parallel, but little accumulation is expected at this point. Winds will be out of the north at 15-25 km/h and temperatures will climb to a cooler high of 17 or 18°C.
Expect skies to clear on Wednesday night as temperatures head to a low near 8°C.
Long Range
A fairly strong low pressure system is forecast to develop in the second half of the week, but general consensus at the moment is that it will remain the United States’ problem, leaving us to wrap up the second half of the work week with partly cloudy skies and seasonal highs in the mid-teens. As we head into the weekend, the chance for rain will re-emerge as the weather turns a little more unsettled. At this point, it doesn’t appear that any widespread or major rainfalls are expected.
Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 17°C while the seasonal overnight low is 5°C.
