Colleen Bready’s Forecast: Air quality improving in Manitoba

Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for June 10, 2025.

After a cool and cloudy start to the week on Monday, conditions are warmer, windier and brighter in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

The sky could become hazy at times. Environment and Climate Change Canada has assessed Winnipeg at moderate risk of poor air quality Tuesday, according to its health index.

Most southern regions, including Winnipeg and Brandon, can expect a mix of sun and clouds, strong sustained and gusting northwest winds, and daytime highs around seasonal norms in the low 20s.

A low over central Manitoba will bring intermittent rain to wildfire zones in the northwest Tuesday afternoon, including Flin Flon. Around Lynn Lake and further north, the chance of showers is lower, but still favourable.

Rain is expected to end in the region Tuesday evening.

Although more precipitation is good news, there is also the risk of thunderstorms, which could produce lightning strikes.

In the northeast, rain, drizzle, flurries, and even light snow are possible Tuesday afternoon and night. Haze and smoke are also expected around the region.

While smoke and haze continue around Manitoba, air quality has improved enough Tuesday for ECCC to end all air quality warnings around the province, except for northwest regions where wildfires are burning.
