Forecast – for Sep. 29, 2011

You have to love it when the weather models get it right. Last week the models pointed toward a large ridge of high pressure building across our region, and that played out pretty much as predicted. All regions saw plenty of sunshine over the weekend and into the first half of this week, along with

Forecast – for Sep. 15, 2011

After a week of some truly amazing weather we are back down to reality this week as fall weather tries to take hold. A large region of cool arctic high pressure will dominate our weather for the first half of this forecast period. The centre of this large area of high pressure is forecasted to


Forecast – for Sep. 8, 2011

Last week’s forecast turned out pretty much as expected, with the only exception being that it was slightly cooler than forecast over the weekend. Luckily, the start of this forecast period is playing out toward the warm end of the weather models. These weather models were having a hard time trying to figure out what

Forecast – for Sep. 1, 2011

Typically as we begin to transition from one season to another, forecasting the weather becomes more difficult, and this year is no exception. After a fairly hot and dry summer, with little in the way of organized storm systems, it’s starting to look like this pattern will begin to break down as large fall storm

It looks like we’ll see at least one more week of warm summer conditions before we start to feel the first taste of fall.

Forecast – for Aug. 4, 2011

For this forecast period it appears we’ll stay in the same general weather pattern that we’ve been in now for over a month. With this pattern we see weak upper-level ridging in place, while at the surface, weak areas of low pressure form to our west and track either well to our north or to


Forecast – for Jul. 28, 2011

Last week, we saw the low in northern Manitoba slow down and deepen more than anticipated. Along with that, the southern ridge of high pressure moved farther east than forecasted. Put the two together and that spelt windy and cool conditions for much of Manitoba late last week and to start the weekend. For this

Forecast – for Jul. 21, 2011

Just like with cold weather, when hot conditions build into a region it can sometimes be difficult to break that weather pattern, and this is exactly what we saw at the beginning of this week. By mid-week we should see a break from the hot, sunny weather as an area of low pressure slowly tracks


Forecast – for Jul. 14, 2011

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

Forecast – for Jul. 7, 2011

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
