Typical summer weather in the forecast after Winnipeg walloped with rain
Dan Fulton of Environment and Climate Change Canada says the city will get comfortable summer temperatures.
'(Winnipeg will see) mid-20s and cooling off nicely at night, kind of into the teens, and that's pretty much what we're expecting for the week right into the weekend,' Fulton told 680 CJOB's The Start.
'That's actually pretty close to the normals too — the normals for this time of year are lows of 13 and highs of 26, fairly pleasant aside from the smoke, which is going to be a bit of an issue.'

Fulton said the wind is expected to push more wildfire smoke into southern Manitoba, but it's too early to predict whether that could lead to more smoke warnings or special weather statements.

There's a small chance of rain for Winnipeg on Monday afternoon, he said, but nothing like this past weekend when the city bore the brunt of heavy precipitation.
'Winnipeg got the most rainfall in the province,' Fulton said.
'The Forks recorded 38 millimetres of rain and 21 at the airport. The next highest I could find was Carman at 16. Peak rainfall rates (in Winnipeg) were about 120 millimetres an hour.'

Hurricane Erin explodes in strength to a Category 5 storm in Caribbean
Hurricane Erin exploded in strength to a Category 5 storm in the Caribbean on Saturday, rapidly powering up from a tropical storm in a single day, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. While the compact hurricane's center wasn't expected to hit land, it threatened to dump flooding rains as it continued to grow larger. Mike Brennen, director of the center in Miami, said Erin had swiftly grown into a 'very powerful hurricane,' racing from maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (160 kph) to 160 mph (257 kph) in a mere nine hours. 'We expect to see Erin peak here in intensity relatively soon,' Brennan said during an online briefing. The first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, Erin ramped up from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in a mere 24 hours. Story continues below advertisement By late Saturday morning, its maximum sustained winds more than doubled to 160 mph (255 kph). The hurricane was located 105 miles (170 kilometers) north of Anguilla at about 11 a.m. Saturday, moving west at 17 mph (28 kph). The storm's center was forecast to remain at sea without hitting landing, passing north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Tropical storm watches were issued for St. Martin, St. Barts and St. Maarten. The Hurricane Center warned that heavy rain in some areas could trigger flash flooding, landslides and mudslides. Tropical-storm force wind gusts are possible in the Turks and Caicos Islands and southeast Bahamas. Though compact in size, with hurricane-force winds extending 30 miles (45 km) from its center, the Hurricane Center said Erin was expected to double or even triple in size in the coming days. Story continues below advertisement That means the hurricane could create powerful rip currents off parts of the U.S. East Coast later in the week, even with its eye forecast to remain far offshore. 2:02 Canadian Hurricane Centre calling for an active storm season Protruding U.S. coastal areas — such as North Carolina's Outer Banks, Long Island, New York, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts — face a higher risk of direct and potentially severe tropical storm or hurricane conditions than much of the southern Atlantic, mid-Atlantic and northern New England coasts, AccuWeather said. Scientists have linked rapid intensification of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean to climate change. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to hold more water vapor and is spiking ocean temperatures. The warmer waters give hurricanes fuel to unleash more rain and strengthen more quickly. Storms that ramp up so quickly complicate forecasting for meteorologists and make it harder for government agencies to plan for emergencies. Hurricane Erick, a Pacific storm that made landfall June 19 in Oaxaca, Mexico, also strengthened rapidly, doubling in intensity in less than a day. Story continues below advertisement Erin is the fifth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. It's the first to become a hurricane. The 2025 hurricane season is expected to be unusually busy. The forecast calls for six to 10 hurricanes, with three to five reaching major status with winds of more than 110 mph (177 kph). The U.S. government has deployed more than 200 employees from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies to Puerto Rico as a precaution as forecasters issued a flood watch for the entire U.S. territory from late Friday into Monday. Puerto Rico Housing Secretary Ciary Pérez Peña said 367 shelters have been inspected and could be opened if needed. The U.S. Coast Guard said Friday that it closed six seaports in Puerto Rico and two in the U.S. Virgin Islands to all incoming vessels unless they had received prior authorization. Meanwhile, officials in the Bahamas said they prepared some public shelters as a precaution as they urged people to track the hurricane. 'These storms are very volatile and can make sudden shifts in movement,' said Aarone Sargent, managing director for the Bahamas' disaster risk management authority. Associated Press reporter Isabella O'Malley contributed from Philadelphia.

Colleen Bready's Forecast: The calm after the storms
Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for August 15, 2025. The impact of one low pressure system on both halves of Manitoba on Thursday is remarkable. The low helped to usher in a hot and humid air mass over the south—and a cold front that produced tornado-warned severe thunderstorms east of Lake Winnipeg Thursday evening. As the severe storms moved east, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued tornado warnings for communities including Almdals Cove and Powerview-Pine Falls.

Winnipeg was under a severe thunderstorm watch for several hours, but no storms developed over the city. Meanwhile, the same system dumped a staggering amount of much-needed rain over the north, including a number of wildfire-affected communities. Here are rainfall totals reported by ECCC so far: Lynn Lake 84.7 mm Pukatawagan 58.8 mm Leaf Rapids 42.7 mm Sherridon 34.8 mm Notigi 31.0 mm Tadoule Lake 27.1 mm Thompson 23.9 mm Churchill 18.6 mm The Pas 18.4 mm Flin Flon 18.2 mm Friday brings the calm after the storms, while the northeast will see more showers as the low pressure system slowly moves east. The low will bring one last blast to Churchill on its way out over Hudson Bay with 5-10 mm of rain, strong and gusting northeast winds, and a cool high of just 8 C this afternoon. In the south, an approaching ridge of high pressure will bring stable, sunny conditions, with slightly below normal temperatures in the low 20s on Friday and Saturday, before warming up to the mid-20s on Sunday.
