These summer like temperatures feel awesome :) <br /><br />27.4°C at my station in south end of Winnipeg as of 2:40 PM.<br /><br />Not looking likely we'll see much in the way of storms late this afternoon and early evening with the cold front. Moisture is just too low with surface dewpoints only from 5 to 10°C so far this afternoon, and are not expected to rise much higher. Generally, when it comes to predicting severe more widespread storm activity, we look for dewpoints in the mid teens or higher.<br /><br />An isolated storm is not out of the question, although they will likely be isolated and non-sevee. The main risk with the storms in this setup is gusty winds due to evaporative cooling due to low moisture. The main chance of rain and storms for Winnipeg is late evening and overnight behind the cold front aided by forcing from the jetstream, with a line of rain and/or embedded storms. Storms look very unlikely past midnight though, thanks to reduced instability. Therefore, the best risk for a storm in Winnipeg would be mid/late evening, although I wouldn't expect anything in the city imo. Will update when new details are available.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-59491153679598460742012-05-10T08:05:28.171-05:002012-05-10T08:05:28.171-05:00Winds will be increasing to 40 km/h this afternoon...Winds will be increasing to 40 km/h this afternoon however, from the south, so it will be a price to pay for the warmth.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-44410348479578990532012-05-10T08:03:28.725-05:002012-05-10T08:03:28.725-05:00Awesome temperatures in store today, before the co...Awesome temperatures in store today, before the cold front significantly drops our temperatures like a rock this evening. Expect highs between 26 and 28 around Winnipeg today, which is about 10 degrees above normal. Nothing close to records in case you were wondering. Records are in the low thirties.<br /><br />Rain and possibly embedded storms move in later in the evening with plummeting temperatures.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-43944170217629509372012-05-09T15:36:31.729-05:002012-05-09T15:36:31.729-05:00Forgot to mention that it will be quite dry with t...Forgot to mention that it will be quite dry with the ridge, which will be bad news for fires. Any moisture we received in the past while wont be around for much longer.. We wont be seeing any measurable rain or storms until the ridge begins to break down, which is uncertain at this point, but early indications are for late week. Stay tunedjjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-34005187183889064052012-05-09T15:32:52.384-05:002012-05-09T15:32:52.384-05:00Spectacular day out there, starting to feel like s...Spectacular day out there, starting to feel like summer :) Wait until you see tomorrow though. Highs in high twenties look likely in southeastern Manitoba, so get out the shorts and sandals! There will be a little bit more cloud than today in the afternoon, with a small chance of a shower or storm late afternoon and early evening. Cold front passes in the evening, with rain or embedded thunderstorms moving in later in the evening. A good 10 mm not out of the question with that.<br /><br />Cooler Friday in the mid teens, and clearing skies, although the cool down will be brief. A large ridge will keep us very warm on the weekend and for a part of next week. A few days close to 30°C will be possible Tuesday to Thursday.<br /><br />Welcome back summer :Djjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.com
