Last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what was expected, with plenty of warm air and even some thunderstorms thrown in for good measure. The trouble is, the muddled forecast for this upcoming forecast period hasn’t got any clearer as we move into a more active pattern. At the surface there is no dominant

After a pretty chilly weekend it looks like summer is going to try and move back in during this forecast period, with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures expected. This forecast period will begin with an area of high pressure building to our southeast and an area of low pressure over far Western Canada. Together,

Most of last week’s forecasts played out pretty much as expected, with high pressure dominating our region bringing plenty of sunshine, dry conditions and warm temperatures.

As forecast last week, our weather pattern has undergone an expected shift, as high pressure continues to build over our region. With this building ridge it looks like winter is going to be firmly locked away well to our north, and we’ll start to feel some summer-like heat moving in. This forecast period begins with

After being stuck in a fairly cool weather pattern for almost a month now, it looks like things are going to slowly start to transition into a new pattern. This forecast period is going to begin a little cool but dry, and it looks more and more like it will finish off warm and dry.

Unfortunately, last week’s forecast was right on the money, as a large upper-level low broke off and stalled well to our south. This resulted in a very wet and cool weekend across nearly all of southern and central Manitoba. For this forecast period it looks like our weather pattern will continue to undergo changes as

I pointed out early this month that we would be seeing a change in our weather pattern around the middle of the month; it looks more and more like this will exactly be the case, but what will this change look and feel like? At first it looked as though we were going to see
