Forecast: So much for a dry hot summer

Issued July 11, 2016 – Covering the period from July 13 to July 20, 2016

By Daniel Bezte July 14, 2016

This week’s weather forecast begins with a huge area of low pressure centred over the middle of North America. All I can say is, so much for a summer heat wave! All of the weather models are currently pointing towards a continuation of warm and wet weather. This is the same area of low pressure

Are we looking at a warm, dry spring?

The biggest weather news of the week, at least according to my local news sources, was AccuWeather’s spring weather prediction. So I figured maybe I should join in and take a look at what the different forecasters have called for this spring. After all, meteorological spring is only a couple of weeks away (March-April-May). In

A slight chance of thunderstorms

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with an area of low pressure pushing through a cold front, which brought a fairly wide outbreak of thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday. Cooler temperatures moved in to start this week, which brought some relief from the warm and humid conditions. A typical slack and muddled

The old weather pattern returns

Our overall weather pattern seems to have slipped back into the same general pattern that prevailed for much of the winter and spring. That pattern had a persistent ridge of high pressure over western North America and a trough of low pressure over eastern regions. We were stuck between these two main features and our

Weather forecast period sees Prairies stuck between storm tracks

The general weather pattern hasn’t changed much since the last forecast. We are still stuck in a split flow, with the northern stream across the central/northern Prairies and the southern stream across the northern U.S. As systems move along both of these tracks and interact, the split flow will sag slightly southward or drift a

As we slowly transition into summer, forecasting the weather usually gets easier, but so far not this year. The overall pattern for the next week to 10 days looks like it will continue to be active, with two main low-pressure tracks setting up. The first is to our south, across the northern states; the second

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with the only deviation from the weather models coming from the timing of the cold front that pushed across Manitoba over the weekend. The original forecast had the front coming through late Sunday, but instead it came through Saturday afternoon. We also saw temperatures make it

Mild weather moves back in on the Prairies

Sometimes you just have to love the way the weather works out. Looking at last week’s forecast, depending on where you lived, it was either way off or perfect. For those of you who thought it was perfect, the predicted forecast wasn’t the reason why. When it comes to weather forecasting, sometimes you just can’t

Mild weather should continue

By Daniel Bezte April 16, 2015

The weather pattern played out a little quicker than forecast last week. The mild weather moved in as expected, but the cold front moved through on Sunday instead of Monday. For this forecast period it looks like the mild weather will continue, but the overall pattern, while mainly dry, will be fairly active. This means

The start of this forecast period will see the last in a series of cold arctic highs push off to the east, which should result in milder conditions for the remainder of this forecast period and hopefully beyond. The best way to describe this forecast period is fragile. That is, while there are a couple
