A low pressure system will bring another chance of snow to Winnipeg on Tuesday. This system will also usher in a Pacific air mass that will finally bring an end to the persistent below-seasonal temperatures.
The Arctic air still wins today, though, and will keep Winnipeg’s high to a seasonably cool -2 °C. The wind will pick up out of the SSW this afternoon into the 30–40 km/h range, making it feel colder with wind chills close to -10. Skies will stay mostly sunny through the day, likely a welcome sight to those feeling the cloudy weather blues.
An approaching low pressure system will spread some cloud into the region by evening, giving partly cloudy skies to the city tonight. The winds will ease to around 20 km/h with temperatures dipping to a low near -8 °C.
On Tuesday, a low pressure system crossing the Prairies will move into Manitoba. Skies will stay cloudy ahead of the low with southerly winds picking back up to 30 gusting 50 km/h. Temperatures will climb through the afternoon to +1 or +2 °C by the evening. Snow will spread into southern Manitoba from the northwest through the day. Winnipeg will see the best chance for any snow mid- to late-afternoon into the evening. Once the chance for snow passes, winds will shift southwesterly and ease to around 20 km/h. Temperatures will hover near or just above freezing through the night under cloudy skies. Relief from the Arctic chill arrives.
On Wednesday, Winnipeg will see mainly cloudy skies with a high near 4 °C. Westerly winds near 20 km/h will turn northwest later in the day as a cold front slumps southwards through the region. Skies should stay mixed on Wednesday night with temperatures dipping to a low near -6 °C.
Long Range Outlook
Looking ahead to the second half of the week, Winnipeg will see a continued return to more seasonal conditions. Little to no precipitation is in the forecast with daily highs returning to 7–10 °C by the end of the work week. These warmer temperatures will continue right through the weekend!
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 6 °C while the seasonal overnight low is -3 °C.
