Above seasonal values continue in southern Manitoba on Wednesday, while the north contends with a rather persistent low pressure system.
That particular disturbance is trending eastward, pushing mixed precipitation through the region over the next few days. It will predominantly fall as rain in central and western portions of the province and transition to snow as it tracks further to the east.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) expects two to 10 centimetres of snow to fall in the northeast, with higher accumulations expected in more northern regions, like Tadoule Lake and Gillam.
Snow should pick up in those regions late in the afternoon as colder air wraps into the system.
Temperatures across much of northern Manitoba are set to peak into the mid to upper single digits.
In the south, clouds accumulate alongside strong and gusty southerly winds.
The southwest has a 30 per cent chance of showers later this afternoon.
Temperatures through southern Manitoba are expected to be above seasonal, with highs in the mid to upper teens.
Overnight, the low chance of rain spreads to Winnipeg and surrounding areas as winds die considerably and temperatures dip, hovering around the freezing mark.
The low affecting the north should taper off Thursday in westerly portions but will likely prevail in the east, with another five cm expected.
Snow is expected to continue in the northeast on Thursday under cloudy skies, with another five cm possible. Temperatures fall through northern Manitoba a few degrees below freezing and below seasonal values.
Southern Manitoba has a slight chance of rain continuing into Thursday under mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures stay warm in Winnipeg with a forecast high of 12 C, while areas to the west will be a few degrees cooler, with highs in the upper single digits.
