As heat continues to build across the Prairies, the chances for thunderstorms have also increased. We began our look at thunderstorm fundamentals that lead to garden-variety thunderstorms, but while these types of thunderstorms are fun to watch, we all know how quickly they can turn into severe thunderstorms. A couple of weeks ago we talked

Time to learn about thunderstorms

When conditions are in place, we have a watch; when storms happen, we have a warning

By
As spring begins to transition into summer, I like to revisit what I find to be one of the most interesting weather topics: thunderstorms.

From a meteorological perspective, winter has come to an end and spring is here. Winter is classified as the three-month period from December to February, and across parts of southern and central Manitoba this past winter turned out to be one of the driest winters on record. Looking at the three main reporting centres, Dauphin

Wind, heat, thunder and snow!

Our winters don’t have enough warm air to produce hail, but enough for ice pellets

By
In my last article, I said we’d continue our discussion on cold-weather precipitation, but before diving back into that icy topic there have been a few unique weather events across our region that deserve a bit of a closer look. The first event was the high winds that worked their way across the three Prairie

The rain dilemma for U.S. corn, soybeans

Localized storms are making widely used weather models less meaningful to the market


By
Rain has been falling across the U.S. Corn and Soybean Belt this month but crop ratings have been low or declining, a sign that some farmers may be getting too much moisture while others have parched fields.

Last week’s forecast didn’t quite play out as expected, but it was able to capture the overall pattern. The big surprise was just how warm it was able to get, even though the pattern wasn’t exactly set up to produce record-breaking heat.
