Major warmup by Friday

If you didn't like our recent cold wind chills, there's good news in the forecast. A major push of mild Pacific air is forecast to sweep across the Prairies over the next couple of days, reaching Winnipeg by Friday. Gusty southerly winds will begin to push the cold air out on Thursday, although the brisk winds and departing cold air will still make for one more cold day. Noticably milder conditions will move in on Friday with temperatures possibly approaching the melting point. The mild conditions should continue over the weekend, especially Saturday when temperatures should rise above zero over much of Southern MB.
