Warm, quiet week leading up to Labour day long weekend

WINNIPEG — September is just around the corner but summer is still hanging on in southern Manitoba.

After a brief cold front moved through Sunday night bringing rain to some parts of the province we are looking ahead to lots of sunshine and dry conditions.

A ridge of high pressure will move into the Red River Valley and those blustery winds we experienced over the weekend will disappear.

Evenings will be cooler, but daytime highs are expected to be seasonal (22 Celsius is the normal) and then gradually get warmer as we get into the second half of the week.
