Mild Remembrance Day

Temperatures have risen up to the 10C mark in Winnipeg as of noon today, with a few hours of sunshine and gusty west winds allowing temperatures to climb. It won't be a record breaker (14.8C in 1987 is Winnipeg's mildest Remembrance Day on record) but it will be some 10 degrees above above normal for today. The main story for this afternoon will be the gusty west winds, which will gust to 60 or 70 km/h today as cooler air and clouds spread in from the west. (Brandon currently gusting to 74 km/has of noon) As a result, look for those temperatures to gradually slide this afternoon down into the 5C range by sunset.
