Weather to bring a nice start for Thanksgiving long weekend

Issued: Monday, Oct. 6 – Covering: Oct. 8 - Oct. 15, 2014

By
As we begin to transition from fall to winter the weather can often behave unexpectedly, and we definitely saw this happen last week. Around this time last week the forecast called for a fairly strong area of low pressure to move northward out of the States, then move off to the northeast. Well, this low

Typical fall weather en route

Issued: Monday, Sept. 29, 2014 – Covering: Oct. 1 - 8, 2014

By
Last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what was expected. The warm air moved in by late in the week, bringing record temperatures to many areas, and the cold front came through a little earlier than expected, bringing with it a return to more seasonable values. This forecast period will begin with a fairly

Warm fall weather finally arrives

Issued: Monday, Sept. 22, 2014 – Covering: Sept. 24 - Oct. 1, 2014

By
It took a little longer than expected, as a secondary area of low pressure brought clouds and showers to most regions early last weekend, but a western upper ridge of high pressure is finally moving in, bringing with it much-anticipated warm, dry weather. This upper ridge will bring mainly sunny skies along with warm temperatures
This graph created by the University of Alabama in Huntsville, shows the monthly global lower troposphere temperature anomaly since 1978. The data used in this graph are gathered by advanced microwave sounding units on NOAA and NASA satellites and measures the temperature of the atmosphere from the surface up to an altitude of about eight kilometres above sea level. You can see that since about 2001 global temperatures have routinely been above average.

Nice fall weather moving in

Last week’s forecast didn’t work out quite as expected. The strong arctic high did build southward, but it remained farther to the west than originally forecast, resulting in more cloud cover. While some areas did see some light frost late last week, the extra clouds kept most places a little warmer at night and a little cooler
This map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies during the 30 days ending Aug. 25, as a percentage of the average expected for this period. This map seems to be a continuation of the maps we’ve seen so far this summer, with above-average amounts of rain over southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and western Manitoba and below-average amounts over northern Alberta.

Late summer/early fall weather

Issued: Monday, September 1, 2014 · Covering: September 3 – September 10, 2014

By
Last week’s weather ended up following its own rules as a relatively fast-flowing pattern developed across our region, bringing with it rapidly changing weather conditions. For this forecast period it looks like this weather pattern will persist. High pressure that started off this week will quickly be replaced by an area of low pressure that
This map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies during the 60 days ending Aug. 18. Southern and northern parts of Alberta have been fairly dry, with large areas seeing fewer than 50 mm of rain during this period. Northern and eastern parts of agricultural Saskatchewan and western Manitoba were fairly wet during this period, with a number of locations reporting 200 mm or more.

Mixed bag for long weekend

By
Things definitely got interesting last weekend as we saw yet another unusually strong area of low pressure affect our region. The low moved a little slower than first forecast and it also tracked a little farther west, but all in all it made for a fairly wet weekend. This forecast period begins with a ridge
This WeatherFarm map shows the total amount of precipitation across agricultural Manitoba from May 1 through to Aug. 16. The Interlake region has been the driest during this period, with far-western regions seeing fairly wet conditions. The wettest area during this period was in the southern Red River Valley, which received over 500 mm of rain.
Weather

Warm and muggy, followed by cool and wet

Issued Monday, August 18, 2014. Covering August 20 – August 27, 2014

It looks like our weather pattern will undergo some changes over the next week or two. This forecast period will start off on the warm side, but by the weekend temperatures could be getting fairly cool. Don’t worry; it doesn’t look like summer is finished just yet. By Wednesday of this week the weather models
This map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies compared to historical averages over the 30 days ending Aug. 7. You can see just how dry it’s been across nearly all of agricultural Manitoba during this period; the only wet area was around The Pas. Farther west, much of northern and western Saskatchewan was wetter than average, as was east-central Alberta.

Off to a warm and dry start

Forecast issued Aug. 11, 2014, covering the period from Aug. 13 to 20, 2014

By
Only problem with last week’s forecast was that we saw two cold fronts move through last weekend instead of just one. The first moved through Saturday, bringing a few quick-moving thunderstorms. The second moved through on Sunday, bringing scattered clouds, the odd shower and cooler temperatures. Hopefully the forecast for this week will be as

Opposition seeks high ground as flood waters recede

Manitoba’s opposition party wants action on flood mitigation 
but is a little shallow on details

By
There are some muddy politics swirling around Manitoba’s flood waters. On July 30, Manitoba’s opposition Tories called for a moratorium on drainage in both Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as part of a Progressive Conservative plan to reduce flooding. Tory water critic, Shannon Martin said he had asked “the province to engage our counterparts in Saskatchewan to
This map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during the 30 days ending July 31 — only one day shy of the monthly total. Most of agricultural Manitoba was fairly dry during this period, with most areas seeing less than 40 mm. Extreme southeastern and northwestern areas were a little wetter. The wettest parts of the Prairies were over northern agricultural Saskatchewan and northeastern Alberta, especially around Edmonton, where an upper low brought large amounts of rain.
Weather

High pressure and plenty of sunshine

Forecast issued Aug. 4, 2014, covering the period from Aug. 6 to 13, 2014

By
Last week’s forecast worked out pretty much as expected. The weak system anticipated to move through late in the weekend was a little quicker than expected and as a result, less cool air was pulled in behind the system. This gave us warmer weather over the last part of the long weekend. This forecast period
