Forecast: Warming up by the weekend

Issued February 29, 2016 – Covering the period from March 2, 2016 to March 9, 2016

By Daniel Bezte March 3, 2016

Last week’s forecast didn’t turn out exactly as forecast, but the cold air did finally arrive; it just took a couple of extra days to show up. As we’ve seen several times this winter, warm Pacific air won out over colder arctic air, at least for a little while. The main systems developed as expected

Forecast: Still a little early to think of spring

The start of my forecasts is beginning to sound a bit like a broken record. It doesn’t look like the current weather pattern we’ve been in for the last month or so is going to change any time soon. If you think winter has come to an early end and spring is ready to move

It doesn’t look like the weather pattern we’ve been in for the last month or so is going to change any time soon. Here is the big picture of what is going on. To our west, there has been a fairly persistent area of low pressure off the coast that has been drifting north and

Forecast: Little change expected in overall pattern

The battle between cold air to our northeast and milder air to our west and south will continue, with the overall pattern staying the same — but as they say, the devil is in the details. Take last weekend’s area of low pressure. The models had predicted this low, but it ended up a little

Forecast: Light snow, but no big storms

Last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what was predicted. Last Wednesday’s Alberta clipper tracked a little farther south and packed a bit of a stronger punch than anticipated, while the weekend system was weaker than expected. These two systems did bring some very mild weather with them, though, which helped to end the

In my previous article, I finished by saying I would hopefully be able to continue our look back at 2015 by exploring some of the top weather stories from our part of the world. Between then and now, both NOAA and NASA released their 2015 global temperature data and I figured we should spend some

Forecast: A couple of chances for light snow

Sometimes it just takes a few small changes to totally alter a forecast and this is what happened last week. The Alberta clipper came through a little earlier and quicker than expected, with only a weak push of arctic high pressure sliding in behind it. The best part is that this allowed our temperatures to

The coldest air of the winter moved in as expected last weekend, with most locations either seeing air temperatures in the -30 to -33 C range or feeling wind chills in the -40 C or colder range. Hopefully this was nature’s biggest push of cold air for the winter, but as usual, only time will

It’s the middle of winter and, well, it feels like it. While it’s definitely been cold recently, if this ends up being our big shot of cold air for the winter, I think most of us can agree it wasn’t so bad! It does look like the colder-than-average temperatures will continue for at least one

With the ending of a year and the beginning of a new one, we traditionally look back at what was, then look ahead to see what the new year might have in store for us. From a weather point of view, there are a number of ways we can do this. I think we’ll begin
