The distant drivers of Manitoba winter weather

Manitobans viscerally feel the impacts of snowfall, chilling winds and the occasional polar vortex, but the source of those local winter weather patterns can come from far away

Brett Anderson with Accuweather is calling for seasonal temperatures for the forecast period for Manitoba. Northern regions and farther west are expected to be warm and dry, while regions to our south are getting cooler and wetter conditions.

Reuters is reporting cool temperatures and rain in some dry areas across the U . S . Midwest this week, making for good conditions for corn pollination.

MDA Weather Services forecast that temperatures around much of the Corn Belt will start out in the low 20s this week before rising towards the week’s end.

Temperatures in the Midwest were expected to remain cooler than usual for the next 15 days, which MDA meteorologist Don Keeney said was near ideal for corn, which was pollinating later than usual due to planting delays this spring.  World Weather Inc. said weather looks good for corn pollination and all areas of the Midwest will get some rain.
