Winnipeg will continue to see sporadic bouts of light snow as mild air pushes across the province.

Winnipeg will see some more light snow today as a weak low pressure system moves through the province. The light snow will mainly fall in the morning, tapering off by midday. Temperatures will warm back up to a high near -4 °C with southerly winds of 20–30 km/h easing and eventually turning to the northwest. The cloud cover will break up a bit tonight with temperatures dipping to a low near -14 °C.

A low pressure system crossing Manitoba on Friday will bring more snow to the region.

More light snow will move through southern Manitoba on Friday as a low pressure system moves across the province. The snow will again likely be primarily a morning concern; a potent Arctic front will plough through the region midday, pushing the snow off to the east and ushering in northwest winds up to 40 gusting 60 km/h. Temperatures will reach a high near -3 °C before the cold front moves through, then drop close to -10 °C by the end of the afternoon. The winds will ease on Friday night with clearing skies and a low near -20 °C.

Long Range Outlook

The cold will again be short-lived with warmer weather quickly pushing back into the region. Temperatures will climb back into the mid-minus single digits for the weekend. The milder conditions will again come with cloud cover and a chance for some light snow. The best chance of accumulating snow will be on Sunday when a low is forecast to move across the province.

Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is -10 °C while the seasonal overnight low is -20 °C.

Winnipeg will see temperatures slowly drop towards seasonal values as several weak disturbances moving through the region draw cooler air southwards.

A blanket of low cloud entrenched over the region will keep temperatures seasonably mild in Winnipeg today. The city will see temperatures climb back to around -2 °C with light southeasterly winds. There’s a small chance of some flurries later today into the evening as a weak low moves across the region. The cloud cover should break up a bit tonight with light northeast winds and a low near -12 °C.

A low pressure system crossing the province on Sunday will bring cloudy skies to Winnipeg. Temperatures will start off seasonably mild with a high near -6 °C, but a cold front will sweep through the Red River Valley midday and bring breezy northwest winds of 30–40 km/h behind it. This cold front will give a small chance of some light snow, then begin ushering in a much colder air mass. The cloud cover will break up on Sunday night with temperatures heading to a low near -22 °C.

Winnipeg will see temperatures once again climb slightly above seasonal values over the next couple days.

A low pressure system advancing across the Prairies will send temperatures back above freezing in Winnipeg. With plenty of sunshine today, southerly winds will increase into the 30–40 km/h range.
