Mix of sun and scattered thundershowers

This forecast period is starting off much like the last one. The general flow of the atmosphere is fairly zonal, which means a strong west-to-east flow. Sometimes it’s coming a little out of the northwest, which results in slightly cooler conditions, and sometimes it veers a little southwest, which means warmer weather. The trouble is,

As we slowly transition into summer, forecasting the weather usually gets easier, but so far not this year. The overall pattern for the next week to 10 days looks like it will continue to be active, with two main low-pressure tracks setting up. The first is to our south, across the northern states; the second

You have to love spring across the Prairies. One day it’s cold and snowy and a few days later it feels like summer! It looks like our spring roller-coaster ride is going to continue, but it does appear the ride is coming to an end. After a beautiful weekend and first half of the week,

I’d said we were going to examine which weather conditions bring long-duration rainfall warnings, and also dig into some of the rainfall records from across southern and central Manitoba in this issue, but that topic will have to wait until next time. An early deadline for this issue due to the long weekend, combined with

Weather forecast predicts an unsettled pattern developing

By Daniel Bezte May 14, 2015

Late last week and into the weekend we experienced a classic example of a small change in a weather system that ended up having a big impact on the weather. A large area of low pressure moved up and passed through our region late last week as forecast, but the system ended up being a

Showers and thundershowers in our forecast

Issued: Monday, May 4, 2015 – Covering: May 6 – May 13, 2015

By Daniel Bezte May 7, 2015

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with the only deviation from the weather models coming from the timing of the cold front that pushed across Manitoba over the weekend. The original forecast had the front coming through late Sunday, but instead it came through Saturday afternoon. We also saw temperatures make it

You’re a true weather hound if you volunteer to have a siren go off in your house whenever a storm is brewing. Blumenort resident Amy Ginn gets a rush of adrenalin every time she hears it — especially when it goes off in the middle of the night. “It does get your attention when it

Sometimes you just have to love the way the weather works out. Looking at last week’s forecast, depending on where you lived, it was either way off or perfect. For those of you who thought it was perfect, the predicted forecast wasn’t the reason why. When it comes to weather forecasting, sometimes you just can’t

After watching the weather models try to figure out the forecast for the last week or so, you can definitely tell spring is trying to move in. As warmer weather begins its annual battle with winter, the weather models often have a hard time agreeing on just what will happen. This is exactly what’s been

It looks like this forecast period will be a transition period, as the weather models have been showing a switch in our weather pattern towards a much more spring-like one. This forecast period will start off much like all the forecasts for the last month, with an area of arctic high pressure dropping southeastward. This
