From a meteorological perspective, winter has come to an end and spring is here. Winter is classified as the three-month period from December to February, and across parts of southern and central Manitoba this past winter turned out to be one of the driest winters on record. Looking at the three main reporting centres, Dauphin

Forecast: Quiet early-spring weather

Issued March 5, 2018: Covering the period from March 7 to March 14, 2018

By
We saw a little bit of everything last week with spring-like temperatures late in the week followed by a complex storm system that brought a return to winter-like conditions to begin this week. For this forecast period, it looks like quiet weather will move back in after a very unsettled start to the week. Weak

Cool, later-spring forecast for Prairies

More moisture is in the forecast too, but it needs to be timely to help crops

By
Western Canadian farmers can expect a cool, later-than-normal spring, according to a forecast from DTN Progressive Farmer and WeatherFarm. While that means a later start to spring seeding and the risk of a late-spring frost, the silver lining is it will help conserve the limited moisture coming from a smaller-than-normal snowpack. Although Western Canada is

Dry weather expected to continue into March

Absent any major snowfall soon, a warmer-than-average March is increasingly likely

By
After a month of back-and-forth temperatures in January that eventually worked out to above-average monthly temperatures, February turned out to be… well, just darned cold. The nice warm temperatures that moved in over the last five days of the month were not enough to overcome the persistent cold weather that dominated the majority of the

Over the last week or so, the general weather pattern across much of central and northern North America has undergone a major shift. The polar vortex has broken down as expected, the western ridge of high pressure has weakened and moved farther off the coast, and the long-wave trough of low pressure over eastern regions

With about a month and a half left in our rather uneventful extended winter season (November to March) it’s becoming difficult to come up with new and interesting things to write about.

Forecast: Some signs point to milder weather ahead

Issued February 12, 2018: Covering the period from February 14 to February 21

By
With the polar vortex still firmly in place, our weather forecasts have been predictable, and once again last week we saw the weather play out darned close to what the weather models had predicted. Arctic air dominated right through the weekend and some areas even saw a little light snow Sunday as the forecast weak

Forecast: Will warm weather return next week?

The arctic vortex deepened and took up position just north of Hudson Bay as expected last week, which resulted in a return to cold temperatures across all of Manitoba. The only part of the forecast that was a little off was the occasional dusting of snow that preceded each new area of high pressure that

Warm January, cold February?

Prevailing patterns should make it easy for arctic high pressure to migrate south

As the first month of 2018 comes to a close I am stuck trying to figure out what I should write about. By the time you are reading this it will be past the end of the month, so the article should be the usual monthly summary and look ahead. After all, if I wait
