More unsettled weather Tuesday.. thunderstorms possible..

A low pressure system over southern Saskatchewan will push a warm front across southern MB tonight, bringing another round of scattered showers into the Red River valley. There's even a chance of some scattered thunderstorms overnight as more humid air spreads in. Showers and scattered thunderstorms will taper off Tuesday morning with cloudy to partly sunny skies expected through midday. Additional showers and thunderstorms are possible later in the day into the evening, especially southeast of Winnipeg. In fact, some strong to possibly severe thunderstorms are forecast for areas south of the international border Tuesday, including much of Minnesota.

Scattered showers likely today.. isolated thunderstorms possible near US border

A generally cloudy and breezy day is on tap today across Southern Manitoba as a low pressure area over far southwest Manitoba moves slowly northward this afternoon. Scattered showers rotating around the low are expected across southern MB today although rainfall amounts should be light and much of the day should be rain free. Near and south of the US border, there is a risk of isolated thunderstorms later this afternoon into this evening as some breaks in the cloud cover help destabilize the airmass. Some of these thunderstorms may cross into far southern RRV later today into this evening although they will be weak and short lived. Drier conditions are forecast Monday over southern MB before another round of possible showers and thunderstorms moves in on Tuesday.

20 degree weather to start the week..

It'll be a nice mild start to the week as some warm air spreads across the Prairies into southern MB. Temperatures are expected to climb to the 20C mark in Winnipeg and the RRV Monday and Tuesday before some cooler weather moves in mid week. Moderating temperatures are forecast for the end of the week again. Normal high temperatures for Winnipeg are now around 13C.

Some rain moving in Saturday mainly south and west of Winnipeg..

Sunny and dry conditions today will give way to increasing clouds tonight as the next weather system moves into southern Manitoba overnight. This system is expected to bring 5-15 mm of rain across southern MB Saturday, with the main swath expected from the Riding Mtns area through the western and southern RRV. Some light rain is possible in Winnipeg Saturday but most of the rain is expected to fall mainly west and south of the city. Drier and milder weather is forecast for Sunday into early next week, before the next chance of showers by Tuesday.

Strong storm system south of border to impact areas south and east of Winnipeg Sunday

A strong storm system developing over eastern Colorado today is expected to spawn an outbreak of severe weather over the central American Plains today with a high risk of severe thunderstorms especially though Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma where violent long tracked tornadoes are possible. The storm system is expected to track into South Dakota tonight then into Minnesota and Wisconsin on Sunday. Widespread rain is expected on the northwest flank of the storm with areas of heavy rain possible over the Dakotas tonight into northern Minnesota Sunday. This area of rain will likely just graze southeast Manitoba Sunday with some rain likely towards the US and Ontario borders. Sunday will also see increasing northerly winds over southern Manitoba which will draw in colder air through the day as temperatures fall into the single digits. In fact, there's a chance that rain may change to snow on the backside of this storm system Sunday night over northwest Ontario. Near to below normal temperatures are likely through the upcoming week over southern Manitoba.
