When thunder roars, GO INDOORS!

By
Environment Canada – During the summer in Canada, lightning strikes on average every three seconds. Besides causing power outages and forest fires, lightning strikes can also seriously injure or kill. The Canadian lightning Danger Map displays high-risk lightning areas in red. These maps are updated at an interval of 10 minutes and are based on

No significant storms in sight

Weather forecast for week of Nov. 11, 2013

Last week’s forecast pretty much fell apart after the weekend, as a very strong area of arctic high pressure dropped southeastward, bringing the coldest air of the season to all areas. Luckily this area of high pressure moved through quickly, resulting in only a day or two of cold air. This forecast period looks to

Severe versus air mass thunderstorms

By
So far in our look at severe thunderstorms we’ve looked at the three main severe weather threats: heavy rain, hail, and wind or tornadoes. What we haven’t discussed or looked at is why do some thunderstorms become severe while others do not, and how can you tell if a thunderstorm moving towards you is going

Expect more heavy summer rainfalls

By
When we think about severe summer weather we almost always think of damaging winds and hail. While these two features can result in severe damage, the kind of damage is often highly localized. One thing about severe summer weather that we tend not to think about, until it creeps up on us, is heavy or

Dry, hot weather expected

Weekly weather forecast

By
The biggest problem with last week’s forecast was that the low pressure system expected to zip through the region over the weekend ended up moving much slower. This allowed for several rounds of rain to form and rotate through our region, bringing too much rain to some areas and some much-needed rain to others. This

The ingredients of a tornado

By
After a fairly cool spring with few if any thunderstorms, summer has started to make headway into the Prairies over the last few weeks. In some years summers come and go with only the odd thundershower and maybe one big thunderstorm, but in other years every storm that comes along seems to bring severe weather.

Lightning strikes can kill

By
Lightning strikes every three seconds during the summer months in Canada. Besides causing power outages and forest fires, lightning strikes can also seriously injure or kill. Through recent advances in detection technology, Environment Canada’s Meteorological Service has improved its ability to track lightning and display high-risk lightning areas.

Seasonable temperatures ahead

Daniel Bezte's weekly forecast

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with a couple of small but significant differences. The area of low pressure that affected southern and central regions on Thursday and Friday ended up being stronger than anticipated. This allowed for more cold air to work in behind the system, bringing fairly widespread frosts on

A wet few days ahead

It looks more and more likely that the second half of this week will be fairly wet across most of southern and central Manitoba. The main questions are just how much rain, where will it fall, and how long will it last? The weather models have been fairly consistent with developing another cut-off low over

Cooler weather trying to move in

Warm and active are the best ways to describe this forecast period. It finally looks as though spring is taking hold across the forecast region as fairly mild air moves in. Along with the warmer air will come plenty of chances for showers and thundershowers. Unfortunately, it now looks as though the warm air might
