It will be a particularly blustery afternoon in Winnipeg across the Red River Valley on this Remembrance Day on Wednesday. North winds are expected to strengthen and gust before gradually diminishing this evening. Across Manitoba and northwestern Ontario it will also be a cloudy day with a chance of flurries or rain showers. The highest chance of flurries flying will be in the north, as a trough of low pressure leaves the region. Temperatures in central areas, including Norway House and Island Lake, will fall this afternoon to around -4 C. Expect the same in Churchill. Otherwise, temperatures across the rest of the north will remain slightly below the freezing mark Wednesday. Meanwhile, it is a noticeably cooler day in Winnipeg and across the south Wednesday, after a stretch of unseasonably warm days. Daytime highs this afternoon will surpass the freezing mark, but only by four degrees, at most. Still, that is slightly above normal for mid-November. Sunshine will return Thursday and continue into early next week. Temperatures will gradually warm up along the way. By the time Santa arrives for his parade on Saturday in Winnipeg, expect a sunny afternoon high near 5 C. The sun will set shortly after the Santa Claus parade begins, so be sure to dress warmly.
