By

While some areas are dry, there has been above-normal precipitation in the Moose Jaw, Regina and Yorkton areas

Snowfall received so far this year across agricultural Saskatchewan points to an above-normal spring run-off, according to the February forecast from the province’s Water Security Agency. The forecast takes into account the below-normal rainfall seen in the last half of 2012, which left most of the agricultural areas in Saskatchewan with relatively dry conditions going

Warmer temperatures ahead

It looks like this forecast period will start off with another Alberta clipper. This low is forecast to track across North Dakota on Wednesday, bringing a shot of light snow to southern regions of Manitoba.

Weather models still having trouble

By
We have been stuck in a split flow for several weeks now and this has kept our weather relatively quiet. The southern stream has kept any significant moisture from making its way northward, so any storm systems tracking along the northern stream have not been very strong or able to produce much in the way
