So that sunny 28C forecast for Monday is looking way too optimistic based on current guidance. Weather Network calling for a high of 18C Monday for us which seems more realistic. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-76443540410274836542014-07-09T07:24:16.877-05:002014-07-09T07:24:16.877-05:00Forecast high for Sunday is now 23C, a drop of 7C ...Forecast high for Sunday is now 23C, a drop of 7C from yesterday's 30C forecast. Likewise, those highs of 28C for Monday and Tuesday are likely 5-10C too warm.. again showing that warm bias with the Day 6-7 forecasts (last 2 days of the forecast) robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-31598631758062720412014-07-08T08:53:25.247-05:002014-07-08T08:53:25.247-05:00A warming trend the rest of the week as upper ridg...A warming trend the rest of the week as upper ridge over western Canada builds eastward this week. Looks like we have a chance of thunderstorms Friday as cold front pushes through with cooler weather for the weekend into next week as upper flow becomes NW over us and upper ridge rebuilds over BC, giving them an extended spell of very hot weather (35-40C temps) The current Winnipeg forecast of sunny 30C weather for Sunday and Monday is way too optimistic and doesn't reflect current model trends showing cooler pattern becoming established by early next week. Look for a downtrend in those forecasts in the days ahead. (Note that Day 6-7 forecasts come from an ensemble model which has a warm and dry bias for us.) robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-18325340523793940022014-07-04T00:01:18.151-05:002014-07-04T00:01:18.151-05:00Anonymous..

Hurricane Arthur, currently a catgeory 2 hurricane on the coast of North Carolina, will weaken as it heads north towards the Maritimes and cooler waters. However, it will also be speeding up as it encounters stronger winds aloft as it moves north.. which helps to maintain its momentum a little longer than if it was just sitting over cold water. As a result, it should remain fairly strong even into the Maritimes, possibly coming onshore as a Category 1 over Nova Scotia before transitioning to post tropical storm status. I'm not an expert on hurricanes, but the Canadian Hurricane Center provides good info on these tropical systems as they head into Canadian territory. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-41761220023386047732014-07-03T17:36:44.829-05:002014-07-03T17:36:44.829-05:00Rob I'm surprised that Arthur is expected to r...Rob I'm surprised that Arthur is expected to remain significant into our maritime provinces.
