A low pressure system that swept through Manitoba over the weekend has brought much cooler, seasonal temperatures than what we’ve become used to in southern Manitoba. But while we adjust to colder temperatures Monday, parts of the south are also bracing for snow on Tuesday. So much for a slow and smooth transition to ease into such things. Before the snow flies, high pressure over Manitoba should help bring sunshine or a mix of sun and cloud to much of the province Monday afternoon. Daytime highs will reach between 4 C and 8 C across the south, including Winnipeg, where temperatures should rise to 5 C this afternoon. The normal high for the city is currently 6 C. Central regions will see highs Monday around 4 C and 5 C, while temperatures in northern areas will hover around the freezing mark. It will be a grey day in northwestern Ontario, with seasonal highs between 4 C and 6 C returning to the region. Meanwhile, a disturbance over the southwestern U.S. Monday is heading our way. Environment and Climate Change Canada said it will reach southern Manitoba Tuesday morning. It’s set to bring wet snow across the southwest Tuesday, including Brandon and Dauphin, while Winnipeg and the southeast will see rain. Northwestern Ontario could see showers or flurries Tuesday. As the first disturbance arrives, ECCC said a second one will be on the move out of Oregon, which could extend precipitation in Manitoba into Wednesday evening.
