Needless to say its going to be a brutal shot to the system as this extremely cold air mass and howling winds blast thru our area. 850 mb temps are progged to drop nearly 30 degrees! Hopefully the strong winds and plunging temps will hold off until the afternoon commute is finished.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949425441824069047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-12366850852595515072008-01-27T20:27:00.000-06:002008-01-27T20:27:00.000-06:00Onefour AB, in the extreme southeast corner of Alb...Onefour AB, in the extreme southeast corner of Alberta, went from +2 and light winds at 4 pm, to -17 and sustained winds of 71 km/h (windchill -33) at 7 pm! A 20 degree drop in 3 hours. Snow is overspreading southern AB and southwest SK as the Montana low intensifies from cold air injection from the north and Pacific moisture spreads in from the southwest. Blizzard conditions a given for much of southern SK spreading from west to east tonight.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-78585203004771765212008-01-27T16:25:00.000-06:002008-01-27T16:25:00.000-06:00Blizzard Warning for most of Southern Saskatchewan...Blizzard Warning for most of Southern Saskatchewan, a sign of what is to come!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-32482325574071555242008-01-27T15:56:00.000-06:002008-01-27T15:56:00.000-06:00Nice mild afternoon across southern MB and souther...Nice mild afternoon across southern MB and southern SK.. ahead of the big Arctic blast roaring into Alberta right now. Unofficial temperatures of +2 to +5C from Winkler to Boissevain today, with +5 to +8C across southern SK! Meanwhile it's -20C in Calgary with strong northerly winds. These are the type of airmass changes that would kill unsuspecting Prairie settlers years ago.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-83473556585098790152008-01-27T10:08:00.000-06:002008-01-27T10:08:00.000-06:00Latest model runs pointing to less snowfall over s...Latest model runs pointing to less snowfall over southern MB as this storm moves through Monday night.. maybe 2 to 5 cm at most for Winnipeg and the Red River valley. This will still be enough to cause blizzard conditions Monday night, but the worst of it may be over by Tuesday morning, except in rural areas where the winds will continue to produce blizzard conditions through much of the day Tuesday. Blowing and drifting snow will still be a problem across all of the Red River valley Tuesday with some road closures likely. If we get more snowfall Monday night, or if the snowfall lingers into Tuesday morning, then blizzard conditions will likely continue through Tuesday morning before we see improvement. Monitoring radar, satellite, surface and upper air data will now be critical in monitoring how this storm will affect us. <BR/><BR/>If we indeed get minimal snowfall with this storm system, then the main story on Tuesday will be the winds and plunging temperatures.. into the -20s by afternoon, with windchills approaching -40. So get out and enjoy those mild temperatures today and Monday if you can... the deep freeze is coming back!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
