Colleen Bready's forecast: Dry conditions continue throughout Manitoba
Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for May 29, 2025.
Hot, dry conditions persist in Manitoba on Thursday, offering no help to combat wildfires burning in several parts of the province.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said these conditions sent mass amounts of smoke into northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan over the last few days, which is expected to continue for the rest of the week.
Temperatures across most of Manitoba will climb into the upper 20s or low 30s on Thursday afternoon.
ECCC has continued an air quality warning for parts of west-central, northwestern and southeastern Manitoba on Thursday. Relatively light winds will keep smoke lingering near the source regions of the fires.
Meanwhile, a large portion of north and central Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, including Kenora, remains under a special air quality statement.
ECCC said a cold front that moved through northern regions Wednesday night shifted winds and sent smoke to the southeast into central Manitoba.
Most southern regions, including Winnipeg and Brandon, are not under either alert, but hazy conditions are possible Thursday afternoon and evening.
There will be no relief from the heat on Friday, with the south forecast to reach highs around 30 C. Temperatures in the north will also heat up into the mid- to upper 20s.
However, some much-needed precipitation is on the way to some northern communities near wildfires on Friday night, including Lynn Lake.
These showers are not expected to reach other wildfire areas near Flin Flon, Cross Lake, or in the southeast.
The next chance of showers in the south is on Monday.

North Bay marks 100 years of mining with waterfront expo
North Bay mining expo showcases city's global industry role with 60 local firms employing 2,500 people and a jobs surge expected by 2029. Eric Taschner reports. A two-day mining expo at the Lake Nipissing waterfront is celebrating a century of mining and related projects supported by North Bay-based companies. 100 Years of Mining - North Bay A mining expo at the Lake Nipissing waterfront is celebrating a century of mining and related projects supported by North Bay-based companies. (Eric Taschner/CTV News Northern Ontario) The event also highlights the global role these companies play in mining operations worldwide. Though North Bay has no active mines, mills, or smelters, its influence is felt across mining projects globally. 'There is a significant increase in the need for this, especially in northern Ontario, with those critical minerals we need to get out of the ground to support electric vehicles and other initiatives,' said Mark Wagner, president of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Northern Gateway Branch. More than 60 mining supply companies in North Bay employ about 2,500 people, playing a crucial role in mine development locally and internationally. One such company, Redpath Canada Ltd., has 200 local employees and more than 9,000 worldwide. 'We have a whole lot of content from projects and different Redpath sites,' said Tyler Foy, Redpath's manager of engineering and technical services. 'A lot of the people that just live in North Bay don't know that there's such a deep mining connection.' The expo introduces co-op students and the public to the mining sector, showcasing career opportunities in the evolving industry. Static displays of mining equipment are also featured.

(Eric Taschner/CTV News Northern Ontario) Ontario's Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade Minister Vic Fedeli visited the expo Friday, praising North Bay's contributions to mining, including its role in northwestern Ontario's Ring of Fire. 'I've been to the Ring of Fire five times, and you see North Bay's drill rods, North Bay's drill bits. The tents actually were made about 20 years ago when I was there. They were made in Rutherglen,' Fedeli told reporters. 'Mining is a big part of the fabric of North Bay. The rail, the logging in the past and mining are all resource sectors. But now we've really shifted to technology. You see around us all of the technology that's used in mining today – it's a very different business today.'

(Eric Taschner/CTV News Northern Ontario) Officials anticipate major growth in the sector by 2030. Ontario currently has 31,000 direct mining jobs and 46,000 indirect jobs in mineral processing and supply. 'We are expecting a 70 per cent increase in employment opportunities by 2029,' said Wagner. 'So, take those 2,500 people and do the math around that.' Wagner added that mining suppliers are optimistic about the future of critical minerals.

Video footage appears to show person matching description of teen suspect in deadly Pickering stabbing
The individual was captured walking through a Pickering neighbourhood on Thursday afternoon moments prior to the deadly stabbing New video appears to show a male matching the description of the suspect in a deadly Pickering stabbing walking through the neighbourhood moments before an elderly woman was stabbed multiple times outside her nearby home. The victim, who was described by neighbours as a friendly, retired kindergarten teacher in her 80s, was rushed to a Toronto-area trauma centre where she died of her injuries a short time later. A 14-year-old boy was arrested a few hours later following a city-wide manhunt and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the brazen incident. Durham police have said that the fatal stabbing appears to have been an unprovoked 'random attack' and that there is nothing at this point to suggest that the victim knew her attacker. Investigators are still working to determine a motive for this incident and won't say if a weapon was recovered. Investigation May 29 Pickering murder An investigation is now underway following a May 29 murder in Pickering. In the footage captured by a nearby surveillance camera, an individual, whose face has been obscured, is observed passing by a house a few blocks up from the murder scene on Lynn Heights Drive about 10 minutes before the incident, which occurred just after 3 p.m. He is seen wearing black gloves, a long, dark, trench coat, and carrying what appears to be a soft-structured briefcase. At 3:02 p.m., the same individual re-appears on camera returning from where he came from. He's seen stopping and fiddling around with his briefcase, before continuing past the house again. CTV News Toronto has spoken to the person whose cameras captured the video. He declined to speak on camera, but confirmed the videos were taken yesterday at around the time of the incident. Another viewer video, also obtained by CTV News Toronto, shows Durham police a few hours later in the backyard of a home that is about an hour away from the crime scene on foot. 'We saw the helicopters and all police, some action from last night,' he said. The man's home backs onto the house in question. He described a 14-year-old boy who lived there. 'He was always wearing dark clothing, nothing really out of the ordinary,' he said, calling the murder 'shocking.' Earlier on Friday, one neighbour told CP24 that she also spotted a strange person walking in the area who was wearing black gloves and a trench coat. 'He stood out,' Shedia Serrao-Fredericks said. 'It is not normal at 2:30 or whatever time it was in the afternoon to be dressed like that.' Prior to the arrest, police said the suspect was seen wearing a surgical mask, a long, black jacket and was carrying a black bag. Investigation May 29 murder Pickering An investigation is underway following a May 29 murder in Pickering. Several neighbours said they saw police in the area last night, but did not go outside to see what was going on as they were told to shelter in place. Today, people in the community are reeling from what has happened, saying that the accused has lived nearby for a number of years. One woman said she saw the teen just a few days before the murder coming out of his house. 'I think he was wearing a tuxedo and I just saw him walking down this street. … I thought he was going to a job interview or something, but he looked a bit too young,' she said. Meanwhile, rumours are swirling at a nearby school that the accused may have been a student there. 'I've heard that this kid was from this school,' one parent told CTV News Toronto. 'I was expecting the school to provide me with some information.' Accused due back in court on June 20 CTV News Toronto was in court this morning when the teen appeared via video. Few details can be released about the case due to a publication ban, except to say that the accused was wearing a dark sweater and that his right hand appeared to be bandaged in white gauze. When spoken to, he replied in a soft voice and looked downcast. There were no family members present in the court room. The accused is scheduled to be back in court on June. 20. This investigation is ongoing and anyone with further information, include video from the area, is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
