The outlook for showers or thunderstorms Monday is similar for wildfire zones in the southeast. The precipitation would be welcomed, but lightning strikes would not.
Wildfire zones in the north and other northern regions of the province Monday will be sunny or see a mix of sun and cloud with relatively light winds, although they will come from various directions.
Tuesday brings a role reversal with sunshine and dry conditions in the south, while the chance of showers shifts to the north.
The next meaningful chance of showers or thunderstorms in Winnipeg is on Wednesday.
At this point, the potential is much lower, but showers or thunderstorms can't entirely be ruled out Friday or Saturday in the city, with higher odds on Sunday.

Sherwood Park hit hard with flooding, hail during Father's Day storm
While Edmonton was hit with heavy rain over the weekend, surrounding areas contended with hail and flooding rain. CTV News Edmonton's Connor Hogg reports. While Edmonton was hit with heavy rain over the weekend, surrounding areas contended with hail and flooding rain. CTV News Edmonton's Connor Hogg reports. While much of central Alberta saw stormy weather on Father's Day, some areas were hit particularly harder than others. Near waist-high water flooded a neighbourhood in Sherwood Park on Sunday. Residents were also pelted with pea-sized hail stones. Storm damage A weekend storm caused flooding and hail in Sherwood Park, Alta. (Supplied) A statement from Strathcona County said a significant amount of rain fell in a short time period and that the storm water system needed time to take in the volume of water. 'This led to localized flooding on roadways due to some catch basins blocked by debris,' said the county. 'It's quite terrifying,' said one Parker Drive resident. 'It's stressful.' Storm damage A weekend storm caused flooding and hail in Sherwood Park, Alta. (Tina Lund) This isn't the first time Parker Drive has seen flooding in recent years. 'We wish the county would look at the infrastructure a little bit and see how they can improve.' Randy Bilyk, owner of Abalon Construction, said there was little to be done once the water level started to climb but that there are preventative measures residents can take.

Is the water running away from your house?' said Bilyk. 'These are the beginning signs of trouble.' The county said its utilities, transportation engineering and operations department and emergency services worked in tandem to clear debris in the area.

Most of the storm ponds were still at a high level but are continuing to drain as designed,' said the county. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Connor Hogg.
