A record-cold start to April? Not quite

In two years where Manitoba saw cold early Aprils, warmer-than-average summers followed

By
There is just no way around it: the first week of April was bitterly cold. We are talking January-and-February cold. To put it into perspective, Table 1 (further down) shows the average maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures for the first seven days of April. I’ve also included the long-term averages for this period in brackets.

If you like lots of sunshine and don’t mind April temperatures closer to those usually found in February, then the last week has been perfect for you! If you are tired of the cold weather, then take heart — there are some signs of mild weather coming, it just might take a little while longer.

A cold March ends a cold winter

The main storm track may shift north, bringing more precipitation to Manitoba

By
Yet another month has come and gone, and for most of us across the Prairies, March 2018 was not one we really care to remember. After a warm start to 2018, which saw January temperatures running 1 to 3 C above the long-term average across all three Prairie provinces, the cold weather moved in for

Forecast: Well-below-average temperatures to continue

Issued April 2, 2018: Covering the period from April 4 to April 11, 2018

Unfortunately, last week’s forecast was nearly bang on as we experienced a late-season outbreak of cold arctic air. The cold air, combined with fairly strong winds, resulted in rather miserable conditions for early April. The only positive was the sunshine, and if you could get out of the wind it actually did not feel that

Snows on the Prairies weigh on canola’s price outlook

By
ICE Futures Canada canola contracts held above the $520-per-tonne mark during the week ended March 26, as speculative buying helped offset the bearish influence of rain in South America. From March 16 to March 23, canola lost $2.50 to end Friday at $520.60 per tonne. The week started off with a thud, as beneficial rains

Forecast: Well-below-average temperatures expected

By
The first part of last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what the weather models predicted, with the main difference being how the various lows ended up tracking. For this forecast period, I hope the weather models are wrong, because it looks like we are going to begin April with a bit of a

What does spring have in store for us?

If a long-range outlook covers a huge area, some place is likely to get that weather

By
By an overwhelming amount, the No. 1 question I have had over the last couple of weeks is: What will the spring be like? While I usually wait until the end of the month to do the look-ahead forecast, I will use this article to go through each of the medium- and long-range forecasters to

Forecast: Plenty of clouds and unsettled weather

Issued March 19, 2018: Covering the period from March 21 to March 28, 2018

By
The general placements of the main weather features were handled well by the weather models during the last forecast period, but as usual, the devil was in the details. A persistent flow of dry air from the departing high last week allowed overnight temperatures to become fairly cool. This, combined with the fresh snowpack, helped

March snowstorm bumps up snowpack

Compared to seasonal norms, Earth’s coldest spot last month was in northeastern Manitoba

By
Almost one year later to the day, southern and parts of central Manitoba in 2018 saw another significant early-spring snowstorm. There were two big differences between this year’s storm and last year’s. First, this year’s storm began with milder temperatures. These milder temperatures made for a heavier, wetter snowfall. Combine this with the second difference,

Forecast: Nice early-spring weather to continue

Issued March 12, 2018: Covering the period from March 14 to March 21, 2018

By
Last week’s forecast played out fairly close to what weather models predicted, with a few minor exceptions. Western regions saw a little more cloud and occasional light snow last Wednesday and Thursday, while temperatures to start the week were a little cooler than forecast, thanks to a weak backdoor cold front that moved in from
