Riley Laychuk's weekend forecast: windy Saturday

Here's a look at your weekend forecast. The story as we get through the afternoon will be all about the wind, not just in southern Manitoba, but across the province. Gusts up to 70 kilometres an hour through the Interlake, the Red River Valley. In northern Manitoba, along the Hudson Bay Coast, we could see gusts that top 100 kilometres an hour through the afternoon. This is all the result of an area of low pressure pushing through northern Manitoba, accumulating snow for the northwestern corner of the province. Otherwise, mainly a rain event, maybe a little bit of accumulation through Thompson into Flin Flon as we get overnight into Sunday. And the wind will stay breezy through Sunday as well for much of the province, but things looking a lot brighter and a lot closer to seasonal as well. So your afternoon temperatures look like this. Temperatures falling to around 9 degrees by the afternoon in Winnipeg. 6s and 7s by the time we're into the late afternoon for parts of western Manitoba as a cold front comes through. So things will feel a lot cooler, especially with the wind as we get through Saturday into Sunday. 6 degrees, the high in Winnipeg with that brisk northwesterly wind. Much closer to seasonal to start next week. Monday, six degrees in Winnipeg, and we'll start to get some cloud building back in as we get toward the middle of the week as well.
