A heat wave is on the way for Manitoba that will last into next week for Winnipeg and the Red River Valley.

A local climatologist says the entire prairie region seems to have experienced above-average wind for a few months now.

Large hail, heavy downpours and strong winds are possible Tuesday and Wednesday as hot, humid conditions continue in the region.

Weather specialist Mike Koncan takes a look at this week's forecast.

Thunderstorm brought hail and heavy downpours to southern Manitoba on Saturday and Sunday night.

Heavy rain from overnight thunderstorms left much of Manitoba damp on Monday morning, but our weather was nothing compared to the severe conditions just south of the border in North Dakota, which included tornadoes.

After a chilly start to May, Winnipeg is in for some glorious weather this weekend -- and according to an Environment Canada climatologist, the summer is looking pretty promising as well.

The amount of precipitation that fell in Winnipeg between Jan. 1 and May 7 is the third lowest ever recorded in that time period, according to meteorologist Jay Anderson.
