A southwesterly flow will usher in 850 mb temperatures of 21 to 24°C into southern Manitoba. In addition, winds will possibly vear to more of a westerly direction in the afternoon, which gives the RRV a downslope warming effect. As a result of these factors, I would not be surprised if we saw temperatures around 35 or 36°C in the RRV. This would be combined with moderate humidity giving humidex values near 40.<br />In fact, NAM is actually showing highs near 40 in the southern RRV (Emerson, Morden/Winkler), so I think it's pretty guaranteed that it will be a very hot day!jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-35631343153451386092012-07-17T11:48:30.850-05:002012-07-17T11:48:30.850-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-45633933607482898872012-07-16T09:25:26.436-05:002012-07-16T09:25:26.436-05:00Wow, I'm amazed (but not surprised) at how bad...Wow, I'm amazed (but not surprised) at how badly the models handled overnight. NAM for instance had well over 20 mm of rainfall for Winnipeg, and other models were similar. In the end, we got nothing overnight in the city, which is unfortunate. However, that rain yesterday was better than nothing. <br /><br />A good 7 to 12 mm of rain fell over the city yesterday, not bad considering it's the best rainfall in a month.<br /><br />Hot temperatures return by mid week, with what could be another heat wave coming up. Thursday, Friday and Saturday look to be the hot days. Friday will be the hottest. So far it looks like Friday could feature highs in the mid thirties (34 to 36°C), so stay tuned for updates. Humidity will likely be an issue as well.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-27207395555938577822012-07-15T22:09:33.396-05:002012-07-15T22:09:33.396-05:00Almost all the models show more convection forming...Almost all the models show more convection forming overnight, so we could see some heavy rain and lightning in the Winnipeg area overnight. Still a wait and see game at this point as the storms in southwestern Manitoba are not organising very well so far.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-82454777314036763302012-07-15T20:46:03.478-05:002012-07-15T20:46:03.478-05:00Cell approaching the city as we speak.

Be aware of the weather around you, and take cover if thunderstorms hit!<br /><br />As for the RRV and southeastern Manitoba, it appears that there is a good chance of seeing some kind of complex move through our area late evening and overnight. Lots of rain, frequent lightning and damaging winds will be possible.<br /><br />Will update this evening.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.com
