With the exception of a few timing issues, last week’s forecast was pretty decent as high pressure dominated the picture, bringing with it the warmest weather of the summer. This forecast period looks to begin with a little break from the hot, muggy weather, though that break may be short lived as it appears likely

So far this summer forecasting the weather has been tough, to say the least. We’ve basically been in a battle between a ridge of high pressure to our southwest and an active storm track to our north. Every time the weather models predict that the ridge of high pressure will win out, a storm system

Forecast: A potential heat wave, again

By Daniel Bezte July 20, 2017

Last week’s forecast began with a much-stronger-than-anticipated area of low pressure that brought some welcome rains to a good portion of southern and central Manitoba. The rest of the forecast played out fairly well, but once again, the forecast heat didn’t really materialize as the western ridge of high pressure is continually knocked down every

Forecast: Warm, with scattered thunderstorms

Well, for once, our weather over the last forecast period played out fairly close to what the weather models were calling for and we didn’t get hijacked by an upper-level low. What didn’t pan out as forecast was the extreme heat that was expected to move in — at least, not yet. The weather models

I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but once again our weather was hijacked by an upper-level low. This one sat over northern Manitoba late last week, then dropped to the southeast early last weekend. This looks to be the last of these pesky upper lows as all of the weather models point toward

Well, once again our weather was hijacked by not one, but two upper lows. The first one brought the cool and cloudy conditions late last week. That low then pulled off to the east as expected, but another upper low was captured in the northwest flow behind the first upper low and we saw a

We have definitely undergone a major shift in our weather pattern thanks to last week’s large and slow-moving upper low. This upper low formed as originally forecast and actually followed the forecasted track. What it didn’t follow was the timeline. The low moved into northwestern Ontario as expected last Friday, but then stuck around until

I’m not sure what’s up with the weather over the last month or so, but whatever is happening, the weather models are sure having a tough time figuring it out! For those of you who monitor the weather models, you know what I am talking about. One day the medium-range forecast is calling for sunshine

Last week’s forecast didn’t quite play out as expected, but it was able to capture the overall pattern. The big surprise was just how warm it was able to get, even though the pattern wasn’t exactly set up to produce record-breaking heat. This forecast period will begin with an area of low pressure tracking through

Once again an upper low took control of our weather, bringing the forecasted clouds and showers over the weekend. The slow movement of the low resulted in the clouds and showers sticking around longer than forecasted, and brought temperatures that were colder than expected. For this forecast, the weather is looking much quieter, with no
