Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected. The biggest exception would be to the start of the week, as fairly cool air spilled southward behind the departing low. Hopefully this week’s forecast works out as well! The cool area of high pressure that brought refreshing conditions to start the week will move off

Arctic Sea Ice At Record Low
I’ll have to admit the biggest request for weather articles lately has been related to all of the rain that some regions have seen over the last few months. If you are one of those people waiting to see just how much rain fell and how it compares to past years, I’m afraid you will

It looks like summer is here to stay as this forecast period is dominated by what can only be described as typical summer weather. Weak high pressure will be in place during the second half of this week bringing with it more sun than clouds along with nice warm temperatures. This high should keep most
Summer To Heat Up?
Well, June sure turned out to be one heck of a month weather-wise! If I had to sum up the month in just a few words it would be east versus west. This June, weather conditions across agricultural Manitoba were very different depending on where you were. Over eastern regions, farmers (for a change), saw

There has been a definite change in the weather pattern over the last couple of weeks. It has been a subtle change, not one of those “holy cow” type of changes where we go from one type of weather pattern to another just like that. Now the big question is, will we see this pattern
A Truly Unusual Year For Weather
Ithink nearly everyone who reads this will admit that we have seen some unusual and record-breaking weather over the last year or so across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. If you are feeling that you might be alone, that it is only our part of the world seeing these weather extremes, you would be wrong. It
Forecast – for Jun. 23, 2011
Well, it felt a little more summerlike this past week and some areas were able to dry out, but other areas got hammered once again with heavy rains coming in the form of thunderstorms. In what seems to be a pattern this spring, we are once again starting this forecast period with a strong and
Different Forms Of Lightning
After taking a little break from our look at severe summer weather I figured it was time to pick up where we left off back in early May. In our last article on severe summer weather we took a technical look at lightning and I ended that article by letting you know we would take
Forecast – for Jun. 16, 2011
It appears that our weather is stuck in a weekly cycle. Yet another area of low pressure is affecting much of southern and central Manitoba to start the week, with the best chances of rain found over western and central regions. Unfortunately, this pattern looks like it will continue during this forecast period with plenty
What’s Up With All The Rain?
How does the saying/ song go? “Rain, rain, go away, come again another day.” I think for a lot of people across at least the southern third of the Prairies, “another day” could be a month from now. Farther north, conditions are almost the exact opposite. Months of dry weather have left things extremely dry.
