Riley Laychuk's Manitoba forecast for Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026

All right, middle of the week, and I am running out of ways to say the nice, sunny weather continues, this time across the province. High pressure really clearing us out as we get through the afternoon. This is going to last as we get through Thursday and most of Friday, and then another weathermaker starts moving. So really, I could just play this right through, and you wouldn't see a lot other than a little bit of high, thin cloud as we get through into Thursday, and this pattern holding into Friday. Cloud starts to build in Friday, and I am watching an area of low pressure that will likely bring a few showers to southern Manitoba as we head Friday into Saturday. But for northern Manitoba, there is the potential with this one to get into some accumulating snow on the north side of this low as we get through the weekend. So I'll keep you up to date on that as the forecast modeling kind of refines and we get a better picture on the timing and what exactly we're looking at as it nears. But as for this afternoon, enjoy temperatures like these. 14 degrees in Winnipeg, 15 to 17 into southwestern Manitoba, even into northern Manitoba looking at double digits as we head through the afternoon could be a little bit breezy at times particularly on the western edge of the province but by and large looking at light winds and sunshine through the afternoon that carries us through uh into Thursday 19 degrees a bit breezy uh in the Red River Valley as we get into Thursday and Friday chance of showers in Winnipeg later Friday into Saturday the winds pick up for the weekend and temperatures cool down significantly back to single digits for Sunday Monday and by the time we're at next Tuesday temperatures around five degrees for daytime highs.
