An Arctic high will bring one more day of cool weather to Winnipeg, but warmer temperatures will build back in through the weekend.

An Arctic high will sit entrenched over the eastern Prairies over the next few days, gradually weakening as the cool air over the region gradually warms. This will result in a simple forecast for Winnipeg: gradually increasing sunniness with warming temperatures.

Skies will improve from mixed skies today to partly cloudy skies on Saturday to mainly sunny skies on Sunday. Northerly winds in the 20–30 km/h range today will ease tonight; heading into the weekend the winds will be light out of the northwest on Saturday and the west on Sunday.

Temperatures will be cool today as the region is under the remains of the cold air core from the low that passed into the region earlier this week. Temperatures will climb to around 20 °C today in Winnipeg, return to seasonal values on Saturday in the low to mid-20s, then climb into the mid- to upper-20s on Sunday.

Overnight lows will slowly climb through the weekend into the mid-teens as more seasonal levels of humidity build back in.

Long Range Outlook

The start of next week will continue to bring warm and settled weather to the region as the area of high pressure over the region continues to weaken and gradually drift to the southeast. The chance of showers or thunderstorms may return mid-week, but settled conditions will likely return quickly with near-seasonal temperatures.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 26 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 13 °C.
