A sunny and unseasonably warm Remembrance Day is in the forecast for Winnipeg.
Clear skies and a high of 10 C bode well for sombre outdoor services being held at Valour Road at Sargent Avenue and Vimy Park on Portage Avenue at Home Street.
Both begin at 10:45 a.m.
The largest Remembrance Day service in the city will take place inside the Winnipeg Convention Centre. The service, hosted by the Joint Veterans Association, begins at 10:30 a.m.
Indoor services are also being held at the Minto Armoury at 969 St. Matthews Ave., McGregor Armoury, 551 Machray Ave., Winnipeg South Osborne Legion Branch No. 252, 462 Osborne St., all beginning at 10:30 a.m.

All federal, provincial and civic offices will be closed on Wednesday as well as banks and the city dump.
