Colleen Bready’s forecast: A return to seasonal temperatures on Tuesday

Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for May 6, 2025.

Three days of summertime heat have come to and, after a cold front brought temperatures back to more seasonal norms in southern Manitoba on Tuesday.

The front began to approach Winnipeg late Monday afternoon, when temperatures dropped from a steamy 29 C at 4 p.m. to 22 C an hour later, as strong northerly winds picked up.

The front also triggered thunderstorms over Brandon late Monday night.

In the front’s wake, daytime highs are forecast to reach the upper teens across most of the sunny south on Tuesday, including Winnipeg and Brandon, although some areas will be a bit cooler.

North winds will remain strong and gusty across southern Manitoba as the last of the cold front pushes through the southeast corner of the province Tuesday afternoon.

Further north, smoky conditions are expected Tuesday around The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation from wildfires burning in nearby communities.

Winds were strong until late Monday night in the region but diminished significantly overnight, remaining light Tuesday.

Conditions will be fairly clear across most of the province Tuesday night.

By Wednesday, sunshine and warmer temperatures in the low 20s will return, setting up a great night for the next Winnipeg Whiteout Street Party that evening.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, heat will build up again later this week in the Prairies as a low pressure system well to the north will draw warmer air northward once again.
