Winnipeg will continue to see seasonably mild temperatures with variable cloudiness right through the end of the week.

A weak low pressure system moving into the province will keep skies mostly cloudy in Winnipeg today. Temperatures will be well above seasonal values, though, with the city reaching a high near -1°C. Winds will be breezy, picking up out of the southeast to 30 gusting 50 km/h for the afternoon. The city will likely see a bit of light snow as the low passes through this evening. Winds will ease for the night, leaving cloudy skies and a chance for some fog patches or freezing drizzle. Temperatures will dip to a low near -4°C.

Thursday will see westerly winds near 20 km/h that clear the cloud out of the region. Temperatures will be mild again with a high near -3°C with the winds diminishing in the afternoon. Winnipeg will see a few clouds in the evening followed by temperatures dropping to a low near -7°C.

Friday will bring partly cloudy skies to the city with a high near -2°C. Winds will remain light out of the south through the day. A bit more cloud might end up pushing into the region on Friday night with temperatures dropping to a low near -7°C once again.

Long Range Outlook

Another low pressure system will track across the northern Prairies this weekend, allowing mild Pacific air to continue spreading across the south. As a result, temperatures will continue to remain well above seasonal values right through the weekend with variable cloudiness. The mild temperatures look to continue right through much of next week at this point with no major snowfall events on the horizon.

Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently -9°C while the seasonal overnight low is -19°C.

Winnipeg will see a gradual shift towards cooler conditions over the coming days as an Arctic high builds southwards into the province.

The system that brought the first notable snowfall of the season to Winnipeg of almost 10 cm will continue to slowly move eastwards into north-western Ontario today. In its wake, an Arctic high pressure system will slowly build southwards out of Nunavut into Manitoba. This high pressure system will bring cooler temperatures back into the province by the end of the weekend.

Today, Winnipeg will see mixed skies with some morning sun followed by clouds later in the day. Temperatures will climb to a seasonal high near -6°C. Cloudy skies will persist tonight with lows dipping to around -9°C this evening.

Saturday will bring mixed skies as morning cloud breaks to let some mid- to late-day sun shine through. Temperatures will reach a high near -5°C with light northerly winds. Temperatures will head to a low near -11°C tonight with a few clouds around.

High temperatures near -6°C will be back on Sunday for Winnipeg. The city will see increasingly cloudy skies with light northerly winds. Temperatures will dip to a low near -11°C on Sunday night with mainly cloudy skies.

Long Range Outlook

Winnipeg will continue to see near-seasonal temperatures to start next week. More snow is possible Monday night into Tuesday morning, but at this point it looks like just flurries or a bit of light snow. A colder air mass will begin to build into the region mid-week, sending temperatures plummeting to well below-seasonal values by the end of the week. Get those long johns ready!

Winnipeg’s seasonal daytime high is currently -6°C while the seasonal overnight low is -15°C.
