A broad area of high pressure moving into Manitoba will bring seasonal temperatures and plenty of sunshine for the weekend.
A broad area of high pressure will move through Manitoba this weekend.
It will be quiet weather for Winnipeg and area over the next several days as a broad area of high pressure builds eastwards across the Prairies. This system will bring daytime highs in the low 20s to the region over the next few days with overnight lows in the 5–10 °C range. The days will bring light northerly winds with calm conditions at night. And most days will bring morning sun that gives way to a few afternoon clouds.
Some fog patches could be possible overnight on some of the upcoming nights as well.
There’s also no notable chance of precipitation right through the weekend.
Long Range Outlook
Heading into next week, the seasonal temperatures will continue right through the week . A low pressure system could move into the region mid-week, bringing southerly winds, warmer temperatures, and a chance of showers.
All in all, there’s lots of pleasant September weather ahead, so hopefully you can get out there and enjoy it!
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 20 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 8 °C.
Winnipeg will see morning showers and widespread smoke today as a low pressure system passes by the region. Much more pleasant weather will return for the rest of the week and the start of school.
Some lingering [thunder]showers will push off into Ontario on Tuesday morning, leaving behind a relatively cool day with highs near the 20 °C mark across southern Manitoba.
After the night’s heavier rain, a few showers or thunderstorms will drift northeastwards early this morning, clearing out of the Red River Valley as a low pressure system moves into Ontario. In its wake, widespread smoke will linger through much of southern Manitoba. This will give very poor air quality to the region and has resulted in a special air quality statement from the MSC. Winnipeg will likely see mainly cloudy skies today, though some late-day sun is possible. It will be a cool day, though, contrasting with the weekend heat as the daytime high only climbs to around 20 °C. Breezy northerly winds will abate this evening as skies clear. Temperatures will head down to a low near 10 °C.
Heading into the rest of the week, a steady and relatively stable pattern develops for the Winnipeg area. With a generally zonal flow aloft and disturbances tracking well to the north, conditions will trend fairly sunny throughout the Red River Valley. Smoke may be noticeable on a couple days through the rest of the week, but it’s unlikely to get anywhere near as bad as Tuesday’s conditions. And temperature-wise, there’s no complaints for the rest of the week with near-seasonal values expected. Highs will sit in the low 20s with lows dipping into the upper single digits.
Long Range Outlook
It currently looks like more of the same in the Red River Valley for the weekend and start of next week. Smoke will be the only wildcard in the long-range forecast, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled in case the potential for another bout of poor air quality arises.
After today’s smokey weather clears out, enjoy the beautiful late-summer weather!
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 21 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 8 °C.
A warmer air mass will gradually push into southern Manitoba this week with highs back in the upper 20s for the second half of the week.
Warmer weather will continue to build into southern Manitoba on Thursday with temperatures approaching the 30 °C mark.
An upper ridge building into the eastern Prairies will bring seasonably warm temperatures back to the region. Before that happens, though, there will be one more day of seasonal warmth in Winnipeg as a disturbance passes by. It will bring mixed skies to the region today with highs climbing into the mid-20s. Winds won’t be much of an issue either, climbing into the 20–30 km/h range out of the south.
Smoke will be a bit of an issue this morning, but air quality should improve as the day progresses.
Tonight will be clear and cooler with a low temperature around 10 °C.
On Wednesday, the heat will begin to push into the region as a warm front edges into the region. Winnipeg should see a high in mid- to upper-20s with sunny skies. Winds won’t be too much of an issue, again climbing into the 20–30 km/h range out of the south. The region will see clear skies on Wednesday night with a low in the mid-teens.
On Thursday, a low pressure complex will begin lifting through Saskatchewan and the Dakotas towards the province. Highs will likely be a couple degrees warmer than Wednesday with cloud working into the region for the afternoon. The wind will be a lot more noticeable on Thursday, picking up out of the south into the 40 gusting 60 km/h range. This system will bring some showers or thunderstorms to western Manitoba in the morning. Those showers will lift to the north, then instability will build eastwards through the day.
By late-afternoon, a risk of thunderstorms will develop over the Red River Valley and areas east. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms; with 500–1000 J/kg of MLCAPE and 40–50 knots of bulk shear, any thunderstorms that develop would likely become fairly well organized with a primary threat of damaging hail and wind gusts. The risk of thunderstorms will continue into the evening, gradually shifting eastwards as the night goes on.
Long Range Outlook
Settled conditions will return to southern Manitoba on Friday with highs again in the upper 20s. On the weekend, even more heat will build into the region with daytime highs climbing into the low 30s. It’s a bit unclear how humid it will be, but there is a chance that it could be rather uncomfortable.
A cold front is expected to sweep through the region and bring more seasonal temperatures back to the region to start the new week.
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 22 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 10 °C.
Winnipeg will see a much cooler and comfortable day today with cloudier conditions and a chance of showers. For the weekend, a building upper ridge will bring sunshine as warmer weather builds into the region.
Seasonal temperatures will return to southern Manitoba as a broad area of high pressure builds across the Prairies.
Today will be a marked departure from yesterday’s hot and humid weather that led to an outbreak of severe thunderstorms across southern Manitoba, including a potent storm that pummelled NE Winnipeg. With the system responsible for that weather off to our east, today will bring cooler northwest winds that will usher in cloudier skies with a chance of some scattered showers. Temperatures should reach a high near 20 °C with northwest winds up to 30 gusting 50 km/h. Skies will clear out later this afternoon, then the wind will die off and temperatures will head to a low on the cooler side of around 10 °C.
For the weekend, Winnipeg should see mainly sunny skies on Saturday with light winds and a high in the low 20s. On Sunday, warmer weather will push in with highs in the mid-20s. Some cloud is likely in the afternoon as a trough of low pressure moves through. This feature might bring a chance of a thunderstorm with it, but it’s looking a bit uncertain at the moment. A cold front will slump southwards overnight as temperatures head to a low in the mid-teens.
The region will likely see some haze through the weekend as well as wildfire smoke once again makes its way into southern Manitoba.
Long Range Outlook
Next week will start off with a couple seasonally-appropriate days; both Monday and Tuesday will bring highs in the 20 to 25 °C range with partly cloudy skies. By mid-week, warmer weather with highs in the mid-20s will return to the region, but we could see another chance for showers or thunderstorms in the latter half of the week.
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 23 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 10 °C.
