Now that October is here, the weather is changing. It’s not unusual to see temperatures in the low to mid 20s on a good day. It wouldn’t be surprising if the temperature was -5 with a wind chill of -20 on a cold day.
Snowstorms are not uncommon, although thunderstorms are rare but not common. In many years, the tenth month of the year is when the snow finally arrives.

What will the weather be like this week?

Although it will rain this week, temperatures should be mild enough to prevent snow accumulation. It only took four years to remember the 2019 Thanksgiving blizzard.
When a burst of heavy, wet snow hit the province that year at the start of the Thanksgiving holiday, more than 250,000 people suffered power outages as soft snow and wind downed trees and damaged power lines.
Most of the week will be cloudy, according to the models, with today’s showers being the heaviest.

For much of the area, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. On Tuesday morning the rain was so intense that several drivers had to stop on the highway.
Around 6 a.m., the initial front of the storm passed through Portage, and by 7 a.m., almost 6 mm of rain had fallen. This storm follows another that arrived late Sunday, just as October began.
That afternoon the community received about 5 mm of rain. According to some forecasts this week, between 50 and 75 mm of precipitation could fall in the coming days.

Environment Canada predicts conditions will be conducive to further intense storm activity throughout the remainder of the day. Naturally, these storms sometimes bring strong gusts of wind, huge hail, and lots of rain.
The root of everything? A line of storms has moved over southern Manitoba as a result of a low pressure system in North Dakota.
From the southwest to the northeast, these storms will move across the province before moving into Ontario later this morning. Hail and wind gusts of 90 km/h will be the greatest dangers of these storms.
When the atmosphere is conducive to the development of thunderstorms that could cause one or more of the following: huge hail, damaging winds, and heavy rain, severe thunderstorm watches are issued.

Monitor local media for the latest weather and emergency information. Before traveling or shipping goods through locations where severe weather conditions are forecast, obtain the latest information on weather and road conditions.
Try to avoid driving through a flooded area – schedule flights. In case of prolonged power outages, charge battery-operated devices.
