Plenty of Sun, Little Change Ahead

Other than some cloud this afternoon, Winnipeg will see plenty of sun through the remainder of the week as an area of high pressure moves through the province.

Winnipeg will see sunny skies turn cloudy this afternoon as a cold front slumps towards the Red River Valley from northern Manitoba, possibly producing a few flurries as it moves through. The cloudy skies will limit temperatures with Winnipeg reaching a high near -2°C. Winds will remain relatively light out of the north, picking up to 15-20 km/h behind the cold front. Winds will diminish in the evening as skies clear and Winnipeg heads to a low near -15°C.
