Arctic high pressure continues to dominate

Issued: Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015 – Covering: Feb. 18 – Feb. 25, 2015

By
Our weather over the last week was dominated by arctic high pressure as predicted, but those highs didn’t track quite the way the weather models indicated they would, resulting in only a mediocre forecast. This issue’s forecast begins where last week’s left off — with cold arctic high pressure dominating. The first and strongest of

Typical mid-winter weather

Issued: Monday, Feb. 9, 2015 – Covering: Feb. 11 – Feb. 18, 2015

By
It’s turning out to be quite the battle between cold air to our north and east and warm air to our west and south. Unfortunately, for those hoping for a return to mild melting weather, it looks like we stay on the cold side of things at least for the next week or two, as

Milder weather should win out

Issued: Monday, Jan. 17, 2015 – Covering: Jan. 21 – Jan. 28, 2015

By
The fragile weather pattern I talked about last week seems to have stabilized for the time being, which means more nice winter weather ahead. For this forecast period, we’re kind of caught between well-above-average temperatures to our west, thanks to a strong area of low pressure off the coast of Alaska combined with a ridge

Cold, wet spring for 2015

If forecasters have it right, this winter could be another long one, 
but it won’t see long periods of below-normal temperatures

By
Call it an intermission from winter if you will, but don’t expect the warmer-than-usual temperatures to last — at least not in Manitoba. Speaking at Farm Credit Canada’s Ag Outlook in Winnipeg last week, meteorologist Mark Robinson said that this year’s El Niño is a weak one. “Right across the country we’re seeing warmer-than-normal temperatures,”

A northern low, just in time for Christmas

Issued: Monday, Dec. 15, 2014 – Covering: Dec. 17 – Dec. 24, 2014

By
The warm weather moved in as expected during the latter half of last week, but a strongly stratified atmosphere kept the really warm air from mixing down to the surface. Combine this with some low-level moisture and you end up with plenty of clouds and fog that helped to keep temperatures cooler than predicted. Temperatures

‘Disaster by design’ wreaks flood havoc on the Prairies

Meeting participants agreed the only way forward is to collaborate on a plan

By
Some have coined the term “disaster by design” to capture how severe weather now impacts those farming and living on the Prairies. But improved long-term planning for times of excess and drought can reduce our vulnerability to the latter, said speakers at the inaugural Assiniboine River Basin Initiative conference in Regina earlier this month. “One

Weather pattern becoming more active

Issued: Monday, Nov. 24, 2014 – Covering: Nov. 26 – Dec. 3, 2014

By
Last week’s forecast didn’t turn out exactly as the weather models predicted. A large storm system moving across the central Prairies last weekend washed out as it moved into Manitoba, and was replaced by a second system that was forecast to move by us to our south. This system became much stronger than forecast and,

Once upon a time, when you wanted to find that unique weather gadget, the best website to check out was Ambient Weather based in the U.S. While it still stocks what I consider the best assortment of weather instruments, either high or low tech, it no longer ships internationally.

Study finds farmers and scientists divided over climate change

Focusing on the cause tends to polarize and politicize the discussion, which delays adaptation

By
Crop producers and scientists hold deeply different views on climate change and its possible causes, a study by Purdue and Iowa State universities shows. Associate professor of natural resource social science, Linda Prokopy and fellow researchers surveyed 6,795 people in the agricultural sector in 2011-12 to determine their beliefs about climate change and whether variation

Winter starts without the snow

Issued: Monday, Nov. 10, 2014 – Covering Nov. 12 to Nov. 19, 2014

By
If you remember back to last week’s forecast I pointed out the confidence level was not that high. Well, the overall pattern proved to be pretty correct but, as they say, the devil is in the details. The large low over Hudson Bay formed as expected and did drag a cold front across our region
