Tuesday is shaping up to be a sunny day in Winnipeg and much of southern Manitoba after a rainy start to the work week.

Environment and Climate Change Canada issued an air quality warning—due to wildfire smoke—for parts of eastern Manitoba, including Lac du Bonnet, Pinawa, Falcon Lake, Victoria Beach, and Bissett.
'Smoke is causing or expected to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility,' ECCC warned. 'During heavy smoke conditions, everyone's health is at risk regardless of their age or health status.'
ECCC's warning for Thompson and surrounding communities like Split Lake remains in effect Tuesday, while other parts of southern, central and northern Manitoba are under special air quality statements.
Meantime, an ECCC meteorologist tells CTV News Winnipeg around 9 mm of rain fell in the city through Monday afternoon and evening.
That's peanuts compared to rainfall totals in the southeast. The meteorologist said more than 38 mm of rain poured down on Sprague on Monday.
The rain is expected to hold off until later this week, but there is a chance of rain and risk of thunderstorms late Wednesday and into Thursday as temperatures soar into the upper 20s and low 30s.
