Despite dark clouds and much thunder, the May long weekend weather failed to deliver the dust-settling, crop kick-starting rain many farmers are anxiously awaiting. “So it’s some but it’s not really enough to make a big difference that’s for sure,” he added, noting most areas of the province need between half an inch and an

Forecast: Active summer weather pattern developing

Issued May 23, 2016 – Covering the period from May 25 to June 1, 2016

By
Last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what was expected, with plenty of warm air and even some thunderstorms thrown in for good measure. The trouble is, the muddled forecast for this upcoming forecast period hasn’t got any clearer as we move into a more active pattern. At the surface there is no dominant

Drought scout flags areas on Prairies

The western half of the region is at risk for low soil moisture

By
Parts of the Prairies could see limited soil moisture this growing season, as low precipitation and warm temperatures have compounded, a government specialist says. “We went into the fall in a fairly good position, but over the first part of the winter we received very low snowfall,” said Trevor Hadwen, agroclimate specialist with Agriculture and

April not looking average anymore

A phenomenon called 'baroclinic atmosphere
' catches forecasters off guard

By
Sometimes it doesn’t pay to jump the gun. Normally I wait until the very end of the month to put out the next month’s long-range forecast. The way March ended I decided to put out the forecast a week earlier than usual and, well, it looks like it’s going to bite me in the butt!

Forecast: Plenty of cold and unsettled weather ahead

Issued April 4, 2016 – Covering the period from April 6 to April 13, 2016

By
Spring is always a tough time to forecast the weather as the battle between cold and warm air really heats up, but this forecast period is particularly tough. Once again we are stuck between a strong ridge of high pressure to our west, bringing record-breaking warmth to that region, and a large trough of low

Drought watch kept on Alberta, early spring expected

By ,
CNS Canada — Above-average temperatures and limited precipitation could mean parts of the Prairies will struggle with soil moisture heading into the spring, according to one specialist. “The soil moisture that we have in the ground right now is similar to what we went into the winter with,” said Trevor Hadwen, agroclimate specialist with Agriculture

December’s weather roundup

The current pattern favours below-average amounts of precipitation for January

By
With the ending of a year and the beginning of a new one, we traditionally look back at what was, then look ahead to see what the new year might have in store for us. From a weather point of view, there are a number of ways we can do this. I think we’ll begin

Mild weather pattern continues

Brandon and Dauphin saw near-average precipitation, with drier weather in the east

By
I know I’ve promised to take a look at big snowfall events for a while now, but I kind of forgot that the end of the month was coming and that’s typically when we do our look-back and look-ahead at our Prairie weather. Besides, the way the weather is going, it doesn’t look like we’ll

Forecast: With high pressure comes mild temperatures

Issued: Monday, Nov. 30, 2015 – Covering: Dec. 2 – Dec. 9, 2015

By
Plenty of sunshine along with fairly light snow cover allowed temperatures to moderate a little quicker than anticipated last weekend, with highs close to freezing in most areas and a few snow-free regions making it above freezing. For this forecast period it looks like the mild weather will continue. In fact, it looks like it

I’ll have to admit that last issue’s forecast didn’t work out very well as the atmosphere is transitioning to a more winter-like pattern. That pattern begins this forecast period as a Colorado low is forecasted to affect parts of our region during the first half of the week, bringing some winter weather along with it.
