A \u201clong duration heat event\u201d is expected to hit Winnipeg and the bulk of southern Manitoba starting Friday and stick around well into next week.<\/p>\n

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement warning much of southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan of temperatures hovering in the mid-30s this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Temperatures are expected to approach 30 C on Friday, with muggy conditions expected especially along and south of the Trans-Canada highway, Environment Canada said in a news release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Sunday, humidex values could reach as high as 45.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While temperatures and humidex values are expected to ease slightly early next week, daytime highs are likely to remain in the high 20s to low 30s range for most of the week, the federal agency said. <\/p>\n

Environment Canada says heat warnings will be issued as needed.<\/p>\n

The special weather statement comes as crews in Brandon, Man., are preparing for rising floodwaters<\/a> after heavy rainfall throughout much of the western part of the province caused extensive flooding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Environment Canada is asking the public to monitor alerts and forecasts over the coming days. <\/p>\n
