Winnipeg saw temperatures plunge back towards seasonal values overnight after a cold front swept through the region on Sunday. These colder temperatures will be short-lived, though, with milder temperatures returning to the region mid-week.

Temperatures will be seasonably cool in Winnipeg today as an Arctic ridge moves through the region. The city will see a high near -14 °C with light winds as the ridge moves across the Red River Valley. Some cloud will work into the region today as warmer air starts pushing in from the west.

Skies will stay cloudy tonight with a good chance of some light snow developing as a weak shortwave pushes towards the region. Temperatures will dip to a low near -18 °C.

Skies will stay mainly cloudy in Winnipeg on Tuesday as that weak shortwave moves across the region. Temperatures will climb to a high near -9°C with a chance for some light snow continuing through the day. A milder air mass will gradually push into the region from here on, shunting the coldest weather off to the north and east. Temperatures will dip to a low near -12 °C on Tuesday night with mixed skies.

More warm air pushing into the region on Wednesday will bring more cloud to the city. Skies will again be mostly cloudy with a chance of some scattered light snow. Temperatures will reach a high near -6 °C with light southerly winds. Temperatures will dip to a low near -12 °C on Wednesday night under mixed skies.

Long Range Outlook

Temperatures will stay mild over the coming days with generally above-seasonal highs and lows forecast. No significant snow events are in the forecast.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is -10 °C while the seasonal overnight low is -19 °C.

After record-breaking warmth yesterday, a change in the weather is coming up as a clipper will bring snow and usher a much colder air mass into the region.

Today will still be fairly mild in Winnipeg with temperatures once again climbing above freezing. The city should see a high near +2 °C with clouds increasing this afternoon as a low crossing the Northern Plains pushes towards the region. Skies will cloud over this evening with light snow beginning overnight. Temperatures will dip to a low near -2 °C.

Accumulating snow will taper off by midday Thursday with 5–10 cm likely in the Winnipeg area. There’s a slight chance that the snow band from this low will end up a touch further south; that would put Winnipeg closer to 2–5 cm and the southern Red River Valley in the 5–10 cm range. After the main snow tapers off, flurries will linger as a cold front gradually slumps southwards into the region. Temperatures will reach a high near -1 °C with northwest winds climbing into the 20–30 km/h range. The flurries will taper off overnight as temperatures head to a low near -9 °C and winds ease.

Friday will continue the cooling as more seasonal temperatures push towards the region. Mixed skies will persist through the day — there may be some occasional non-accumulating light snow — with temperatures climbing back to a high near -5 °C. Skies will be partly cloudy on Friday night with temperatures dipping to a low near -16 °C.

Long Range Outlook

A much colder air mass will settle into the region this weekend. Daytime highs are forecast to drop into the minus teens with overnight lows potentially dipping below -20 °C by Monday morning. Temperatures may moderate slightly, but near-seasonal temperatures are forecast to persist right through much of week.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is -9 °C while the seasonal overnight low is -18 °C.

Winnipeg will continue to see seasonably mild conditions through the rest of the week. A low moving through the province will bring a chance of light snow to the Red River Valley tonight.

A low pressure complex crossing the Prairies will bring more mild weather to Winnipeg today. Southerly winds picking up into the 30–40 km/h range will accompany temperatures climbing to a high near +1 °C. The city should see partly cloudy skies with thicker cloud moving in for the evening. Temperatures will dip to a low near -4 °C tonight with the winds easing overnight and shift westwards. A chance of light snow will develop overnight as a weak cold front pushes into the Red River Valley.

The chance for snow will taper off Thursday morning with cloudy skies giving way to some afternoon sunny breaks. Temperatures will barely be cooler than today with a high near 0 °C. Skies will stay cloudy tomorrow evening into the night as shortwave moves into the region as it digs southwards into the upper trough. This will bring another chance of some light snow to Winnipeg on Thursday evening. Skies will clear out through the second half of the night with temperatures dipping to a low near -9 °C.

Friday will bring more warm weather rot the city as another warm front pushes across the Prairies. Winnipeg should see partly cloudy skies as winds pick up out of the south in the afternoon into the 30–40 km/h range. Temperatures will climb to a high near +1 °C again. The wind will ease as it shifts westerly on Friday night and temperatures head to a low near -6 °C.

Long Range Outlook

Mild weather will stick around for Saturday, then a cold front is forecast to sweep through the province on Friday night. It will bring another chance of snow with it, then cooler temperatures will move into the region for Sunday and Monday. After that, it looks like Winnipeg will see a return to near-seasonal temperatures.afar

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is -5 °C while the seasonal overnight low is -13 °C.
