Excess moisture might trigger more crop insurance claims than frost

Farmers and crop insurance adjusters expected to be in fields this week 
assessing crop damage caused by the Victoria long-weekend storm

By
Excessive moisture from the May 16-17 storm might result in more crop insurance claims than frost. “From our perspective the amount of rain and snow that came with this storm is probably as big a concern as the frost itself,” David Van Deynze, Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation’s (MASC) manager of claim services said May 20.

You have to love spring across the Prairies. One day it’s cold and snowy and a few days later it feels like summer! It looks like our spring roller-coaster ride is going to continue, but it does appear the ride is coming to an end. After a beautiful weekend and first half of the week,

You’re a true weather hound if you volunteer to have a siren go off in your house whenever a storm is brewing. Blumenort resident Amy Ginn gets a rush of adrenalin every time she hears it — especially when it goes off in the middle of the night. “It does get your attention when it
This graph created by the University of Alabama in Huntsville, shows the monthly global lower troposphere temperature anomaly since 1978. The data used in this graph are gathered by advanced microwave sounding units on NOAA and NASA satellites and measures the temperature of the atmosphere from the surface up to an altitude of about eight kilometres above sea level. You can see that since about 2001 global temperatures have routinely been above average.

Nice fall weather moving in

Forecast issued Monday, Sept. 15 - Covering: Sept. 17 – Sept. 24, 2014

By
Last week’s forecast didn’t work out quite as expected. The strong arctic high did build southward, but it remained farther to the west than originally forecast, resulting in more cloud cover. While some areas did see some light frost late last week, the extra clouds kept most places a little warmer at night and a little cooler
This map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies during the 30 days ending Aug. 25, as a percentage of the average expected for this period. This map seems to be a continuation of the maps we’ve seen so far this summer, with above-average amounts of rain over southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and western Manitoba and below-average amounts over northern Alberta.

Late summer/early fall weather

Issued: Monday, September 1, 2014 · Covering: September 3 – September 10, 2014

By
Last week’s weather ended up following its own rules as a relatively fast-flowing pattern developed across our region, bringing with it rapidly changing weather conditions. For this forecast period it looks like this weather pattern will persist. High pressure that started off this week will quickly be replaced by an area of low pressure that
This map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies compared to historical averages over the 30 days ending Aug. 7. You can see just how dry it’s been across nearly all of agricultural Manitoba during this period; the only wet area was around The Pas. Farther west, much of northern and western Saskatchewan was wetter than average, as was east-central Alberta.

Only problem with last week’s forecast was that we saw two cold fronts move through last weekend instead of just one. The first moved through Saturday, bringing a few quick-moving thunderstorms. The second moved through on Sunday, bringing scattered clouds, the odd shower and cooler temperatures. Hopefully the forecast for this week will be as

In summer, the one weather feature I don’t like to see is an upper low. They usually mean cloudy, cool, wet weather, which can last for days. So far this month we’ve seen two different upper lows move through and it looks like we might be in for another. Last weekend we saw a fairly
