Saturday may see a little more cloud than current forecasts indicate as a weak frontal trough drops through southern Manitoba pushed southward by a cool high over northern Manitoba. May even see a light shower moving in from the northwest Saturday. Temperatures will remain somewhat coolish as our winds tap some cooler air through the Interlake.. with highs in the low 20s likely. Sunday looks terrific with sunny skies and light winds.. afternoon highs around 24C, after a chilly morning near +5C. Yep, definitely feeling a little more like September out there! If you're looking for heat this weekend, try the Okanagan.. highs of 36C forecast out there! robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-51278092227895458572012-08-16T12:58:16.230-05:002012-08-16T12:58:16.230-05:00At this time of year Saskatchewan often gets frost...At this time of year Saskatchewan often gets frost!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-80203889043213967822012-08-16T11:29:15.941-05:002012-08-16T11:29:15.941-05:00Still 24 is not bad for Friday!Still 24 is not bad for Friday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-32765429558909223912012-08-16T11:20:04.438-05:002012-08-16T11:20:04.438-05:000C this morning in Val Marie, Saskatchewan...

Looks like we'll be rainfree for a few hours, with another chance of showers as the cold front passes through around midday to early afternoon, then some scattered showers behind it. Overall though, it looks like we've seen the bulk of the rain with this first batch this morning. <br /><br />Winds will be from the south this morning then shift into the west early this afternoon behind the front. Winds will pick up as the afternoon progresses with gusts to 70 km/h likely later this afternoon into this evening. <br /><br />Bottom line.. Not the best day for a golf game, but yes, I think you'll be able to squeeze in a round today, but grounds will be wet and soft, and be prepared for the occasional shower this afternoon, with winds picking up especially mid to late afternoon. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-73758553876675377132012-08-15T09:04:45.909-05:002012-08-15T09:04:45.909-05:00Rob Appears to be a clearing trend approaching.

Energy for severe storms is getting less favourable as surface moisture becomes less pronounced, and surface heating becomes more difficult as days get shorter and solar strength decreases. If we can get some good dynamics, we can still get some decent storms.. but again, the season is fading quickly. Best chance for severe storms around here is mainly in June and July when surface moisture and heating are at a maximum. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-80552504435847437082012-08-14T22:20:12.707-05:002012-08-14T22:20:12.707-05:00Anonymous..

They haven't lasted long, maybe a week or so, but they have occurred periodically. Whether this upcoming cool spell lasts the rest of the month remains to be seen... there are signs that we'll be back to normal over the weekend and into next week. So far, we're averaging just 0.5C above normal for the month. If we get into prolonged cooler weather, then yes.. our above normal streak is in jeopardy. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-28194119901574579432012-08-14T20:14:05.612-05:002012-08-14T20:14:05.612-05:00Just Curious considering we are still in summer wo...Just Curious considering we are still in summer would it be possible if we could see more severe weather before autumn comes around?

Models show cold front pushing through Winnipeg/RRV around noon, with gusty northwest winds picking up in the afternoon. NAM gives YWG about 8 mm of rain between 6 am and 2 pm while GEM gives us 16 mm of rain between 6 am and midnight. GEM really blows up precip amounts over northern Interlake/central MB with 60-80 mm totals through there (hence rainfall warning issued for those areas) robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-1993960585907174482012-08-14T16:42:02.951-05:002012-08-14T16:42:02.951-05:00Some people just have it all..
