THIS WEEK: STORM STARTS, BUT PLAN WILL BREAK AS TEMPERATURES RISE
Monday’s forecast shows more of the same active weather for parts of Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. There is a risk of thunderstorms along a frontal boundary. Storms could become severe in areas stretching from Winnipeg, Man., to Thunder Bay, Ont. Anything that reaches severe limits will be dispersed into nature, however, it could cause strong winds, large hail and heavy rain. Looking ahead, a strengthening ridge will bring heat to the region, especially early and mid this week. The warm weather will be especially felt through Wednesday, with temperatures reaching the low to mid-30s in southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan, then spreading east. Also for this week – beyond Monday – some welcome news for those weary of lingering storm threats: A few quieter days are expected for the Prairies.
