Temporary cool-down next week?

Issued: Monday, July 13, 2015 – Covering: July 15 – July 22, 2015

By
Last week’s forecast didn’t play out exactly as the weather models predicted, but that was not unexpected with the slack flow across our region. For those living in the south, the smoke cleared out for the most part, a little earlier than expected, and a slow-moving upper low allowed very warm and humid air to

A slight chance of thunderstorms

Issued: Monday, July 6, 2015 – Covering: July 8 – July 15, 2015

By
Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with an area of low pressure pushing through a cold front, which brought a fairly wide outbreak of thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday. Cooler temperatures moved in to start this week, which brought some relief from the warm and humid conditions. A typical slack and muddled
Thick smoke moved through Manitoba last week, creating air quality concerns and reduced visibility to two kilometres in some areas.

Forest fire smoke invades Manitoba skies

Thick smoke from neighbouring forest fires has been lingering over Manitoba 
but experts say it’s unlikely to impact plant growth

By
Manitoba has been blanketed in smoke for more than a week as forest fires continued to spread across Western Canada. Drought-like conditions across the Canadian Prairies culminated to cause 395 active fires in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories by Monday morning. Air quality warnings have been issued almost daily and some producers may

Thunderstorms damaged more Manitoba crops July 4 — one week after a vicious hailstorm injured or destroyed crops from Roseisle to Winkler, running roughly parallel to the Pembina Escarpment.

The old weather pattern returns

Issued: Monday, June 29, 2015 – Covering: July 2 – July 8, 2015

By
Our overall weather pattern seems to have slipped back into the same general pattern that prevailed for much of the winter and spring. That pattern had a persistent ridge of high pressure over western North America and a trough of low pressure over eastern regions. We were stuck between these two main features and our
A severe thunderstorm the afternoon of Saturday June 27 hit near the Roseisle area west of Carman. Many fields in the area were destroyed or damaged by hail including this soybean field at the Junction of PR 240 and 245.

Mix of sun and scattered thundershowers

Issued: Monday, June 22, 2015 – Covering: June 24 – July 1, 2015

By
This forecast period is starting off much like the last one. The general flow of the atmosphere is fairly zonal, which means a strong west-to-east flow. Sometimes it’s coming a little out of the northwest, which results in slightly cooler conditions, and sometimes it veers a little southwest, which means warmer weather. The trouble is,

Weather forecast period sees Prairies stuck between storm tracks

Issued: Monday, June 15, 2015 – Covering: June 17 – June 24, 2015

By
The general weather pattern hasn’t changed much since the last forecast. We are still stuck in a split flow, with the northern stream across the central/northern Prairies and the southern stream across the northern U.S. As systems move along both of these tracks and interact, the split flow will sag slightly southward or drift a

Unsettled weather and a look at precipitation across the Prairies

As we slowly transition into summer, forecasting the weather usually gets easier, but so far not this year. The overall pattern for the next week to 10 days looks like it will continue to be active, with two main low-pressure tracks setting up. The first is to our south, across the northern states; the second

Summer-like weather pattern taking shape

Issued: Monday, June 1, 2015 – Covering: June 3 – June 10, 2015

By
The arctic high moved into our region last week as expected, but the timing of its arrival couldn’t have been worse, resulting in widespread frosts as overnight lows ranged from +2 C to -4 C. That said, it’s looking like this might be the last shot of really cold air, as a more summer-like pattern
