Dry, hot weather expected

Weekly weather forecast

By
The biggest problem with last week’s forecast was that the low pressure system expected to zip through the region over the weekend ended up moving much slower. This allowed for several rounds of rain to form and rotate through our region, bringing too much rain to some areas and some much-needed rain to others. This

Get used to it?

By
Just as water and climate expert Bob Sandford began his keynote address at a Winnipeg conference about water management last week, he received a text from his son back home in Canmore, Alta. It was about a river gone wild. As Sandford spoke on the science of why weather patterns are becoming more turbulent, resulting

Excerpt from a speech by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to the National Press Club in Washington, June 5, 2013. I’m the secretary of agriculture, and I am not here today to give a scientific lecture on climate change. I’m here to tell you what we’re seeing on the ground. We’re seeing more severe storms.

Big storms should stay away this week

By
While the weather across our region was relatively quiet last week, the weather pattern as a whole was not behaving quite like I predicted it would.

The ingredients of a tornado

By
After a fairly cool spring with few if any thunderstorms, summer has started to make headway into the Prairies over the last few weeks.

Seasonable temperatures ahead

Daniel Bezte's weekly forecast

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with a couple of small but significant differences.

This allowed for more cold air to work in behind the system, bringing fairly widespread frosts on

Reflecting on the flood that didn’t happen

By
After dire predictions and many preparations on both sides of the border, citizens have started breathing a huge sigh of relief. Unless we receive very large levels of precipitation in the coming days, the threat of flooding seems to have been alleviated. Some of us are just relieved; others are asking why the forecasts were

A wet few days ahead

It looks more and more likely that the second half of this week will be fairly wet across most of southern and central Manitoba. The main questions are just how much rain, where will it fall, and how long will it last? The weather models have been fairly consistent with developing another cut-off low over
