Freezing Rain Possible Tonight; Major Cool Down Coming

     Some light snow will continue this morning with little accumulation. Overall, a mild day with a high near 0°C to 1°C. The high may not actually be reached until evening however.

     Clipper system begins moving in tonight. A period of showers, freezing rain or ice pellets looks likely later in the evening and overnight. Not expecting much accumulation, but this will definitely make roads quite slick.

     Periods of snow will begin sometime around midday tomorrow and continue until early Monday. Temperatures will plummet tomorrow afternoon along with this snow, dipping into the mid minus teens by Monday morning. Strong northwest winds will create blowing and drifting snow both tomorrow and Monday. As for snowfall totals, 3-6 cm looks like a good range for Winnipeg right now, but will update in the comments if that changes.

     We'll struggle to exceed -10°C on Monday. Skies should clear in the afternoon or late day.

     The core of the cold air does not reach us until Wednesday-Thursday. Absolutely dreadful temperatures are expected late week with highs in the mid minus teens and lows well into the -20's likely... Cold even by January standards and at least 10°C below normal for late November.

Cold; Some More Snow

     It's beginning to not only feel like winter, but look it as well after about 3 cm of snow yesterday in Winnipeg. Some light flurry activity remains downwind of the lakes this morning. We will not warm much today with a high only around -9°C, a good 8°C or so below normal.

     Our next chance for more snow accumulation will be tomorrow night as a weak disturbance moves through. Not expecting much accumulation with this one with maybe 1-2 cm at most from Tuesday evening to Wednesday afternoon. In addition, strong northwest winds on Wednesday will produce blowing and drifting snow.

     A push of colder air will arrive for Thursday. If we get enough clearing, lows approaching -20°C cannot be ruled out Thursday morning. We'll likely only reach high minus teens (around -11°C or so) Thursday afternoon. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel... A warmup is expected to begin Friday. However, this may come with a chance for more snowfall this weekend (too early to confirm). Nonetheless, it is nice to see more seasonal temperatures in the forecast for the end of November and possibly into early December.

     Note that the temperatures we have been seeing the last week will be considered normal by the first week of December.

First Snowfall Accumulation of The Season

     Lake-enhanced snow last night provided our first accumulative snowfall of the season in Winnipeg. Generally, about 1 cm fell, the first accumulation since late April. This ties as 14th latest first accumulative snowfall of the fall season, since 1872. The latest first snowfall accumulation was on November 21, 1963. The fall of 1963 just so happened to feature both the warmest fall and warmest October on record.

     More snow is on the way tonight and tomorrow. Snow should begin sometime around late afternoon or in the evening and continue through at least the morning tomorrow. More scattered light flurry activity may continue through the afternoon. Generally 2-5 cm is expected.

     Any sign of warmer weather is still extremely far on the horizon. Overnight lows in the minus teens and highs in the minus single digits are expected through the remainder of the week. An enhanced push of colder air this coming weekend will make it difficult to exceed -10°C for a couple days early next week.
