Forecast – for May. 26, 2011

Last week’s forecast started off exactly as the models predicted, but by the time the weekend rolled around things got a little off track. The weather models had predicted the large area of low pressure that affected us over the weekend, but they originally kept most of the clouds and rain to our south. Unfortunately,

With strong high pressure firmly in place across the Prairies it looks like the first half of this forecast period will be sunny, dry and warm. A strong blocking ridge of high pressure that brought plenty of sunshine and fairly mild temperatures over the weekend and into the start of the work week will continue

For those of you hoping summer-like weather is ready to move in, I’m afraid you’re going to be a little disappointed in this forecast. After a nice start to the week and the promise of nice weather to come, it looks like our old pattern of cool and unsettled weather will move back in by

Forecast – for Apr. 7, 2011

Last week’s forecast didn’t come out exactly as I thought it would, but looking back, the biggest problem was with the timing of the weather systems. The storm system forecast to hit our region early this week ended up moving in a little early, bringing some significant rain and snow to southern regions. This week


Forecast – for Mar. 31, 2011

Cool high pressure that brought plenty of sunshine and cool temperatures to our region over the last week or so looks as if it will begin to weaken and move off to the East around the middle of this week. This will have two effects on our weather. First we will see temperatures warm up

The weather pattern looks as if it will continue to be fairly active during this forecast period. After seeing a rather strong area of low pressure push through southern and central regions late last week, which luckily brought more wind than snow, it looks like another low will move through during the middle of this


Forecast – for Jan. 27, 2011

It seems like we are in one of those weather patterns where every little system that comes by drops a little precipitation. Usually we only see this in the spring or summer but it looks like this pattern will continue for at least this forecast period. It has been a tough couple of weeks for

Forecast – for Nov. 11, 2010

After some near-record-breaking warm weather this past weekend, it looks like more seasonable weather is poised to move in during this forecast period. The question will be whether we’ll remain dry, or will we see snow accompany the cooler conditions? The ridge of high pressure that brought the beautiful weather over the weekend will have


Forecast – for Oct. 28, 2010

It’s always tough to try and create a forecast when the main weather maker is still unfolding. The dominant weather feature to start this forecast period will be the strong area of low pressure moving through Manitoba into Ontario. By Wednesday, the low should be to our east and we should see very strong northerly

Forecast – for Sep. 16, 2010

Acouple of things look to be fairly certain during this forecast period. The first is that we will likely continue to see temperatures near the low end of the usual temperature range for this time of the year. Secondly, there appears to be a very strong chance that a large portion of agricultural Manitoba will
