Last week’s forecast once again played out fairly close to what was predicted, but with a couple of timing issues. For example, the cold front forecasted for last Sunday was a little slow and didn’t push through until Monday morning. This forecast period is going to start off on the warm side, with high temperatures

Weather prediction for the week? Warm, with a chance of storms

Last week’s forecast got the general big picture right, but had trouble with the timing and behaviour of the upper low that moved through our region late last week and into the early weekend. For this forecast period it looks like we’ll start off sunny and hot, with a building upper ridge of high pressure

While this summer’s weather hasn’t been the easiest to figure out, the weather models have been doing a pretty good job of getting the big picture right. This was the case once again for last week’s forecast as the upper low stalled out over Hudson Bay as expected, and brought cooler air and afternoon clouds

Last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what was predicted, with the only exception that we didn’t really see much of a cool-down last Friday. It does look like we’ll see overall temperatures cool down a little during this forecast period as the general weather pattern undergoes a bit of a change. This is

The overall weather pattern doesn’t look like it will change much during this forecast period. We’re currently in a pattern that has a moderate ridge of high pressure over central North America, with this high extending northwards to about the central Prairies. To our east and west are troughs of low pressure. The western trough

Last week’s forecast didn’t play out exactly as the weather models predicted, but that was not unexpected with the slack flow across our region. For those living in the south, the smoke cleared out for the most part, a little earlier than expected, and a slow-moving upper low allowed very warm and humid air to

A slight chance of thunderstorms

Last week’s forecast played out pretty much as expected, with an area of low pressure pushing through a cold front, which brought a fairly wide outbreak of thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday. Cooler temperatures moved in to start this week, which brought some relief from the warm and humid conditions. A typical slack and muddled

The old weather pattern returns

Our overall weather pattern seems to have slipped back into the same general pattern that prevailed for much of the winter and spring. That pattern had a persistent ridge of high pressure over western North America and a trough of low pressure over eastern regions. We were stuck between these two main features and our

This forecast period is starting off much like the last one. The general flow of the atmosphere is fairly zonal, which means a strong west-to-east flow. Sometimes it’s coming a little out of the northwest, which results in slightly cooler conditions, and sometimes it veers a little southwest, which means warmer weather. The trouble is,

Weather forecast period sees Prairies stuck between storm tracks

By Daniel Bezte June 18, 2015

The general weather pattern hasn’t changed much since the last forecast. We are still stuck in a split flow, with the northern stream across the central/northern Prairies and the southern stream across the northern U.S. As systems move along both of these tracks and interact, the split flow will sag slightly southward or drift a
