The strong storm system the weather models forecast last weekend to affect our region did materialize, but as usual with strong storms, it didn’t behave exactly as expected. Instead of coming in as one main system, it came through in waves of energy. It also took a more westerly and northerly track, which resulted in

Fall is usually a tough time of year to forecast as we begin our shift from summer to winter. This year looks like it might be tougher than most, since our summer weather pattern was pretty unpredictable. We saw a little of this last week. The storm system that was forecast to track by to

Issued September 2, 2016 – Covering the period from September 7 to September 14, 2016

By

As summer slowly winds down, most regions felt the first little hints of autumn last weekend, as overnight lows dropped into the 5 C range. For this forecast period it looks like summer is going to continue to hang around. That means we’ll probably end up seeing a few hot days, the odd day with
