The coming weekend brings both warmer temperatures and windier weather to Winnipeg alongside a mix of cloudy and sunny days. Fortunately, it appears that any rain or snow will hold off until the end of the weekend.
Today will mark the first wave of warmer temperatures moving into the Red River Valley as a low pressure system moving across the central Prairies brings gusty southerly winds to the region that draw warmer air northwards. Temperatures will climb to a high near 15°C today under more cloud than sun as winds pick up out of the south to 30-40 km/h with gusts on top of that. Plenty of cloud will be streaming overhead through the day; it won’t likely be completely overcast all day and the sun may poke out occasionally, but overall there will be more cloud than sun.
Expect a low tonight near 10°C under mostly cloudy skies with winds out of the south at around km/h.
Saturday will be a beautiful day with cloud clearing in the morning, leaving a mainly sunny day behind with a high near 16°C and westerly winds of 20-30 km/h. Skies will remain clear on Saturday night with a low near 2°C.
The weather will start to turn on Sunday, but it will still be a fairly nice for a good portion of the day. Cloud will begin moving in through the morning hours as winds pick up out of the southeast to 30-40 km/h with gusts on top of that once again. Temperatures will climb to a high near 11°C before an area of rain begins moving through the Red River Valley in the mid- to late-afternoon.
Long Range
The start of next week looks fairly unsettled with more showers possible on both Monday and Tuesday. Below-normal temperatures seem likely to return mid-week.
Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 11°C while the seasonal overnight low is 0°C.
