No hint of a major warmup anytime so...curiousgal..<br /><br />No hint of a major warmup anytime soon. Looks like we climb to "normal" by the weekend with temps in the low teens.. but still no signs of a major change to an above normal pattern. We're still stuck in a La Nina type pattern with a strong storm track through the northern plains into the Great Lakes which is giving waves of precipitation every few days through there, while we remain in the drier but cooler air to the north. It's possible we may go the whole month without seeing our temps rise to the 20C mark (last year, we hit 20c 8 times in April) <br /><br />Normal high temperatures for Winnipeg rise to 15C by the end of April and 20C by May 20th so the trend is up.. but it may be a while getting there. I'd love to see a major flip to above normal in May, but I don't see that happening right now. Until then, take advantage of those sunny normal days when we get them!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-70972806872776643122011-04-17T13:21:50.292-05:002011-04-17T13:21:50.292-05:00These snow showers are losing our interest.

Snow is creeping north and has just started in Grafton and will be heading north towards the Cdn border within the next couple of hours. Snow will continue to spread north this afternoon however, easterly flow of very dry air in low levels (sfc RH = 35%) will delay onset of precipitation over Winnipeg/eastern MB until late afternoon. Temperatures will likely climb to +4 or +5C by then so precip could start as a mix of rain and wet snow before it changes over to snow this evening, with a couple cm of slushy accumulation still possible for us.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-88899615647165578912011-04-14T14:47:08.075-05:002011-04-14T14:47:08.075-05:00Noon Apr 14th the Grand Forks Riverside Obelisk an...Noon Apr 14th the Grand Forks Riverside Obelisk and the reading on the USGS web site show a maximum of 49.93ft (2009 crest was 49.33)at 1030 FGF River graphic site shows a max of 49.65.<br /><br />I wonder if this has to do with them shutting down the server today for NWS fgf??Donnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-4677783343292153902011-04-14T14:39:27.611-05:002011-04-14T14:39:27.611-05:00In Grand Forks, Fargo etc The Weather Channel web...In Grand Forks, Fargo etc The Weather Channel web site TWC.com expects very little rain or snow for the next 10 days (today only).

Can it happen again.. you bet. In 2010 the last 2 days of April and first 4 days of May produced 62 mm of Rain .<br />5 of our last 6 major Wpg floods have been underestimated with disastrous results 79, 96, 97, 99, 09. <br />Preparation for a major flood must begin months in advance. Grand Forks learned this from its 97 catastrophe. Manitoba appears to have finally adopted this practice and should be commended Thankfully, we hope, it appears to be enough.
