Cloudier conditions will be on tap for Winnipeg & the Red River Valley through the remainder of the work week, however with little precipitation expected and seasonal to slightly above seasonal temperatures, conditions will be fairly pleasant.
Skies will be mixed to cloudy across Winnipeg & the Red River Valley today as a complex disturbance in the United States spreads cloud across much of the Southern Prairies. A chance of showers exists along the American border, but further north the chance drops off quite quickly. Winds will be fairly light as temperatures climb to a high near 18°C. Heading through tonight, skies will be partly cloudy to mixed as temperatures drop to a low near 7°C.
Thursday will likely start with partly cloudy skies, but see more cloud cover move in through midday. Temperatures top out near 18°C with fairly light winds. Expect cloudy conditions on Thursday night as temperatures dip to around 8°C.
Friday is a bit of a wildcard at this point, but it appears that morning cloud will give way to some afternoon sun before more cloud cover moves into the region on Friday night. Temperatures will top out near 19°C with winds out of the east at 20-30 km/h.
Friday night will bring cloudy skies with a good chance of rain as a more organized area of rain moves from southern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba into the Red River Valley.
Long Range
The weekend is looking quite unsettled and wet with rain likely both Saturday and Sunday as a slow moving upper-low moves towards the region. At this point, it looks like there may be a significant convective element to this system, meaning that rainfall amounts could be highly variable across the region. Daytime highs will continue to sit near 17°C through the weekend with overnight lows in the low teens.
Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 17°C while the seasonal overnight low is 5°C.
