Farmers around Miami have been hoping for rain for several weeks and it’s the same story across much of south-central Manitoba.

Record temperatures exceeding 34 C

Once again an upper low took control of our weather, bringing the forecasted clouds and showers over the weekend. The slow movement of the low resulted in the clouds and showers sticking around longer than forecasted, and brought temperatures that were colder than expected. For this forecast, the weather is looking much quieter, with no

Last week’s forecast, once again, didn’t play out quite as expected. While it wasn’t a total bust, the forecast slowly fell apart as the main weather makers ended up falling into a pattern that was not initially forecast.

Timing of weather systems ended up being an issue with last week’s forecast. We did see a system late last week give a general five cm of snow to a good part of southern and central Manitoba, but it came through a day earlier than forecast. The second low slid quickly through central regions as

During these periods, the atmosphere is changing due to the rapid shift in incoming solar radiation (that is, sunlight). We saw this over the last forecast period, as a western low developed as expected, but
