Prairie forecast: Transition from warm to cool brings chances for rain
Prairie forecast: Looks like summer weather
Highlights: We appear to be in a fairly predictable weather pattern as the overall weather picture has been pretty good.

As often typical with upper-level lows, the
Prairie forecast: Warm, dry west; warm, unsettled east
Highlights Summary Last week’s forecast did well considering the unusually blocking pattern that developed.

Prairie forecast: Summer holds on
Once again, the weather models did a good job with the last forecast. It correctly predicted the cool weather pattern over the eastern Prairies, which did bring some light scattered frosts late last week.

Forecast issued August 20, covering Aug. 20 to 27, 2025
To start this forecast period, we have an area of low pressure developing over Montana. This will help bring one more day of intense heat over southern Saskatchewan and a hot day over Manitoba. That same low will bring partly cloudy skies and the chance of showers to a good portion of Alberta.

Prairie forecast: Merging lows bring plenty of chances for rain
Forecast issued Aug. 6, covering Aug. 6 to 13, 2025
