Winnipeg will see variable cloudiness over the next few days with a couple chances for flurries. Below seasonal temperatures will continue as well, with little improvement expected until next week.
Winnipeg’s chilly morning will lead to a cool day with a daytime high of just -10°C, a whopping 15°C below seasonal for this time of year. The city will see a sunny start to the day, but cloud cover will build in from the west this afternoon associated with a low pressure system moving into Montana and North Dakota. As the cloud moves in, the city will see a slight chance of flurries, but the better chance for snow will be in the southwestern Red River Valley westwards to the Saskatchewan border. Skies will clear tonight with temperatures dipping back down to around -19°C again.
Saturday will bring more cool weather to the region with daytime highs once again near -10°C with gusty northwesterly winds of 30 to 40 km/h developing in the afternoon. Mainly sunny skies in the morning will give way to mixed to cloudy skies in the afternoon as cloud cover drifts southwards out of northern Manitoba. This cloud will bring a good chance of flurries with it. The cloud and chance for flurries will persist into the evening. Temperatures will drop to a low near -13°C on Saturday night with skies becoming mixed towards morning.
Sunday looks to bring warmer temperatures to the region. The high temperature for Winnipeg should end up near -4°C: still below seasonal, but better than the days before it. Winds will be westerly at 20 to 30 km/h with mixed skies. Those mixed skies look like they’ll stick around Sunday night as temperatures dip to a low near -13°C.
Long Range Outlook
Next week looks like it will bring benign weather to Winnipeg with temperatures gradually climbing back towards seasonal by next weekend. No significant precipitation is expected through the week, although a few flurries may roll through a few times.
Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently 5°C while the seasonal overnight low is -6°C.
