Friday high of 18 C and sun, but by Sunday that drops to 9 C with rain
Weather-wise, the May long weekend isn't looking so good.
On Friday, the day starts with cloudy skies across southern Manitoba, and light northwest winds as Winnipeg's temperature sits at 6 C.
The sun is expected to come out in the afternoon with a high of 18 C.
A gloomy Saturday will follow: Not much sun is expected, and while the high again will reach 18 C, showers are expected to begin in the afternoon and last throughout the night.
Sunday could be a challenge for anyone who is going camping. Strong winds will gust up to 70 km/h and showers are expected here, too.
The high won't quite make double digits but could reach up to 9 C, and skies are expected to clear by Sunday evening.
But it's not all bad — warm temperatures are expected to come back by the middle of next week as the city moves into sunny weather once again.
