Visualizing wind and early-spring storms

Some of the largest snowstorms in our part of the world have been in March or April

Every couple of years I like to go back and visit the topic of spring snowstorms. Unlike Christmas snowstorms, I do not secretly wish for a spring snowstorm. Maybe when I was younger I did, but now I just want nice warm, dry weather to move in. On the positive side of things, the current

Last week’s forecast, once again, didn’t play out quite as expected. While it wasn’t a total bust, the forecast slowly fell apart as the main weather makers ended up falling into a pattern that was not initially forecast. This turned out to be a good thing for our region as the main storm track shifted

Once again, the overall forecasted weather pattern played out pretty well, but as always, the devil is in the details. The area of low pressure forecast to track through northern Manitoba last Thursday and Friday ended up taking a more southerly route, bringing significant March rains to a good part of southern Manitoba. Last weekend’s

Huge blizzard batters over half of Manitoba

March and April storms aren’t all that unusual, but this storm system’s size was

I wonder what the topic should be for this week’s article? Maybe, just maybe, we should take a look at the massive blizzard that struck and paralyzed over three-quarters of Manitoba last week. What looked initially in the weather models to be a modest storm turned out to be a record-breaking storm that impacted all

Well, I did not do the best job with last week’s forecast. The winter storm ended up being much stronger than expected and when that happens, the system kind of takes control over the overall weather pattern, rewriting the forecast. The one thing that did occur as expected was the cold arctic high- pressure system

Top five regional weather stories of 2016

Last fall’s heat wave was amazing in its duration — and by how much it broke records

Before we dive into this week’s topic I think I need to change my weather outlook for March. Currently, the medium-range weather models show cooler weather sticking around until at least the third week of March. Even if we see a dramatic warmup during the last week of the month, it will not be enough

As I write this forecast late Sunday evening, all eyes are turned toward a major storm system that is forecast to affect pretty much all of Manitoba on Monday and Tuesday. As you read this, you’re likely just finishing digging out from the first major snowfall since early January, or you’re trying to clean up

Warm weather wins out this winter

Nature has taken back a significant chunk of the snowpack it gave us

By
From a climatological point of view, winter is now over: the 12-month year is broken into four equally long seasons, with winter covering December, January and February.

After an extreme warm period, it looks like we are back into more winter-like conditions for this forecast period. This continues the pattern we have seen since early December, of alternating periods of warm and cold weather. This time, though, it does not look like we will see any extremely cold weather move in.
