Things have really cooled down since the storms on Saturday. Monday could end up as the coolest day so far in July with temperatures only expected to get to 23 degrees Celsius. So far this month, the coolest day was the 5th where we peaked at 24.7° C.
It is expected to be a fairly calm start to the week with light winds and clear skies on Tuesday as high pressure settles in over top of southern Manitoba. As it moves southeast, it will help things warm up more and by the afternoon, temperatures should be back near, or above seasonal.
By Wednesday, temperatures will be back near 30° C.
WATCH: Health officials are urging people to take precautions if they’re going to be out during the extreme heat
Thursday is a bit of a wild card.
It’s the next opportunity for Winnipeg and much of southern Manitoba to see some shower activity as low pressure will develop and move into our province. Unlike Saturday where there was a very clear front where rain and thunderstorms developed, Thursday looks like it could bring more scattered showers. There will likely be rain but difficult to say where it will land.
Thursday is still a ways away but it does not look like it’s shaping up to be a major rain event. As of Monday morning, weather models generally forecast rainfall amounts (should it happen) for Winnipeg near 5 milimetres.
