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

Weather pleasant but a little fragile

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

A northern low, just in time for Christmas

By Daniel Bezte December 18, 2014

The warm weather moved in as expected during the latter half of last week, but a strongly stratified atmosphere kept the really warm air from mixing down to the surface. Combine this with some low-level moisture and you end up with plenty of clouds and fog that helped to keep temperatures cooler than predicted. Temperatures
