Highs between –8 C and –14 C are expected through the coming week in southern Manitoba: Environment Canada
It's over.
The extreme cold warnings that have seemed frozen in place across Manitoba are finally gone.
The last lingering warnings stubbornly remained in southern Manitoba for much of Friday morning, bringing wind chills in the –40 range. But they, too, were lifted by Environment Canada around 11 a.m.
The weather agency is now forecasting warmer daytime highs through the weekend and into next week, with a high of –5 C for Winnipeg on Saturday.
Wind chill will make it feel closer to –12, but even that may feel like mid-July compared to the –30 C to –40 C temperatures and –50 wind chills the province has endured through most of February.
Winds will be strong, however, gusting to up 50 km/h.
The normal daytime high temperature for this time of year in much of southern Manitoba is –6 C, with a normal low of –16 C.
Highs between –8 C and –14 C are expected through the coming week with overnight lows between –15 C and –20 C, Environment Canada says.
