Spring storm sprinkles moisture across thirsty Prairies

Topsoil moisture adequate for seeding but rain needed to sustain annual crops

By
Rain and snow this spring left topsoil moisture in good condition for seeding in much of the Prairies, but hasn’t added to deeper moisture in many regions.

Issued March 20, covering March 20-27, 2024

While cold snaps this time of year often bring snow, the prevailing high pressure suggests storm activity will largely skirt the area, save for southern and southwestern Alberta where significant snowfall is anticipated.
