Winnipeg will see unsettled days ahead as several disturbances move through the region.
The RDPS forecast model shows a notable swath of rainfall accumulation from Tuesday afternoon across several water-logged regions of Manitoba.
A slow-moving low pressure system moving across the region will bring cloudier, showery weather to southern Manitoba over the next couple days. Showery conditions will develop this morning over southwestern Manitoba and spread into the Red River Valley by late morning. The rain will be spotty through midday, but will likely become a bit more organized through the afternoon. The showers will taper off this evening, but that won’t be the end of things.
Today’s showers will come from a leading impulse, while tomorrow will bring the actual low pressure system through the region. More showers will push into the Red River Valley early Wednesday morning. The region will see a chance of showers or thunderstorms through Wednesday morning. The instability will ease through the afternoon, leaving just a few lingering showers.
This system will bring as much as 5–10 mm of rain through most of the Red River Valley, but the rain will be more organized to the north. From the Parkland area eastwards across the Interlake, 10–25 mm of rain will fall over the next couple days.
Another low pressure system will move into the region on Thursday, associated with a deep upper trough sinking into the Prairies from the north. It will bring more rain to the region, spreading from western Manitoba in the morning to the Red River Valley in the afternoon. This system could bring a wide swath of 10–25 mm of rain to much of southern Manitoba.
Most forecasts show another 5–20 mm of rain across much of southern Manitoba with the system moving through on Thursday into Friday.
Northerly winds will strengthen over the region on Friday in the wake of Thursday’s low. While it will help clear things out, a few afternoon pop-up showers will be possible.
This unsettled patter will be marked by seasonably cool temperatures. The Winnipeg area will reach a high in the mid-teens today, then drop into the low teens for Wednesday and Thursday. Both Thursday and Friday will bring highs near 10 °C. Overnight lows will gradually drop into the low single digits as the week progresses.
Long Range Outlook
Conditions should stabilize on the weekend, with a return of seasonal temperatures by Monday. The next chance of rain looks to be on Tuesday night when another upper disturbance pushes across the region.
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 20 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 6 °C.
After a windy day today, conditions will settle down with a stretch of cooler and drier weather ahead.
Cooler conditions will settle into the eastern Prairies in the wake of Friday’s passing low pressure system.
With the overnight rain now well to the north, the weather in Winnipeg today will be marked by the passage of a strong low pressure system to the west. As it lifts northwards, southerly winds will strengthen over the Red River Valley. Most areas will see winds as high as 50–60 km/h this afternoon with gusts up to 80 km/h possible. Skies will stay mostly cloudy through the morning, with more breaks in the cloud developing this afternoon. Conditions should be drier though, with just a chance of some scattered afternoon showers. Temperatures will hover in the low teens through the day today.
The low will push off into northern Manitoba tonight, bringing a bit of clearing into the region as the winds ease to around 30 gusting 50 km/h. Temperatures will dip down to the upper single digits. Some more cloud will push back into the region later on Saturday as an upper-level disturbance skirts along the border. This will also bring a few showers to the region that taper off in the evening. It will be another breezy day with southwesterly winds of 30–40 km/h.
Temperatures will be cool on Saturday and for several days after that. A northwesterly flow will usher in a high pressure system from the Arctic over the next few days. Daytime highs will be well below seasonal, particularly on Sunday and Monday. Daytime highs will struggle to climb much higher than 10 °C on either of those days. Overnight lows will also dip into the low single digits, with even a chance that we might dip below freezing on Monday night. The upside to the cooler conditions is that it will also bring drier weather. No significant rain is in the forecast for the next several days.
Long Range Outlook
Temperatures will begin to creep back towards seasonal values in Winnipeg towards the middle of next week. Showers will be possible through the second half of the week, but at this point it doesn’t look like they’ll produce very significant amounts of rain for the region.
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 19 °C while the seasonal overnight low is 5 °C.
