Well, I did not do the best job with last week’s forecast. The winter storm ended up being much stronger than expected and when that happens, the system kind of takes control over the overall weather pattern, rewriting the forecast. The one thing that did occur as expected was the cold arctic high- pressure system

As I write this forecast late Sunday evening, all eyes are turned toward a major storm system that is forecast to affect pretty much all of Manitoba on Monday and Tuesday. As you read this, you’re likely just finishing digging out from the first major snowfall since early January, or you’re trying to clean up

After an extreme warm period, it looks like we are back into more winter-like conditions for this forecast period. This continues the pattern we have seen since early December, of alternating periods of warm and cold weather. This time, though, it does not look like we will see any extremely cold weather move in. For

Due to the holiday Monday, my deadline for the weather forecast was much earlier than usual. Because of this, I will have to skip some of the details and stick with a more generalized forecast. After a warm to record-warm end to the last forecast period, this forecast period is going to feel a little

Timing of weather systems ended up being an issue with last week’s forecast. We did see a system late last week give a general five cm of snow to a good part of southern and central Manitoba, but it came through a day earlier than forecast. The second low slid quickly through central regions as

Forecast: The battle between warm and cold begins

After a series of systems brought clouds and occasional light snows to start the week, cool high pressure will lead this forecast period. While it does look like milder air will move in a little later, it is going to be a struggle to overcome the cold air parked to our northeast. High pressure will

Last week’s forecast played out fairly well based on the series of events, but the timing was off by a couple of days. The warm weather moved in over the weekend as expected, but the warmest weather stayed to our west, with numerous records for heat broken in Saskatchewan. This forecast period will start off

Forecast: Weather outlook not quite so mild

As has been fairly typical over the last year or so, the warm air came in as expected and ended up being even warmer than what the weather models predicted. Last week’s heat broke several recorded highs along with even more “record high” overnight lows. For this forecast period, it looks to remain mild, but

The warm weather arrived as forecast, with mild Pacific air finally pushing out the cold arctic air. This mild air looks to stick around for at least this forecast period. The big question is whether we’ll see more significant precipitation. This forecast period begins with high pressure dominating much of Western and Central Canada and

Forecast: Is a winter heat wave moving in?

By Daniel Bezte January 12, 2017

It seems we are moving into a pattern of cold and settled weather, interspersed with periods of warm and active weather. The current medium-range forecast looks to support this. This forecast period will begin on the cold side as an area of arctic high pressure builds southward behind a Colorado low that passed by to
