If you’re double checking your calendar Monday to make sure it’s actually November, you wouldn’t be blamed. Temperatures are soaring well above normal for this time of year across southern Manitoba in the sunshine. Daytime highs could reach as high as 11 C to 14 C across the south, with Winnipeg and Brandon expecting some of the warmest temperatures. For perspective, the normal high for both cities more than a week into November is 0 C. While conditions will be far from freezing, be prepared for brisk northwest winds Monday afternoon. Conditions across northwestern Ontario will be similar Monday. Meanwhile, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said a low near the Alberta/Nunavut border moving eastward will spread accumulating snow over northern Manitoba Monday. The weather agency forecasts five to 10 centimetres over a 24-hour period. Looking ahead, temperatures in Winnipeg will remain above normal but will be considerably cooler the rest of this week. Remembrance Day on Wednesday will be cloudy in the city with an afternoon high near 3 C, well after morning services have ended. Temperatures will be warmer for the Santa Claus parade on Saturday, with a forecast high of 7 C with a mix of sun and cloud.
