It looks like the low will track south of Winnipeg so we will not go above zero like it was in Regina today :-(<BR/><BR/>Looks interesting for end of the week as flow turns southwest ahead of a big upper trough. A colorado low is a distinct possibility somewhere between Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario and Minnesota. But still too far out.<BR/><BR/>DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-37751345083107937812007-02-17T16:17:00.000-06:002007-02-17T16:17:00.000-06:00Forecast high for Sunday is now -7c.

GEM shoves all the cold air into Quebec and Ontario very quickly. This does not seem realistic. Like you said, a compromise between the two solutions is the most likely outcome.<BR/><BR/>Btw...The only info I can find about the other airport station, 'XWG' is from this website: http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/CXWG<BR/>It shows a graph of the latest temperature trends at the bottom. I have no idea where they get the data from.<BR/><BR/>DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-35696742270068783262007-02-15T09:35:00.000-06:002007-02-15T09:35:00.000-06:00Wow.. now EC is saying +4C for Sunday while Accuwe...Wow.. now EC is saying +4C for Sunday while Accuweather is saying -16!! I have a feeling the true answer will be somewhere in between! <BR/><BR/>Forget the +4.. that just ain't gonna happen. We have a storm system moving in from SK that will move across Southern MB on Sunday bringing snow through the interlake. For Winnipeg to hit +4, the low would have to track across central or northern MB, and we would have to get into a westerly flow of Pacific air tapping milder air from the west. None of the models show this happening. Instead the low is supposed to track over us, or to our south which would keep the milder air to our south and west. For Winnipeg, this means east to southeast winds ahead of the storm will tap colder air from a departing Arctic ridge, which will keep temperatures down.. probably around minus 5 to minus 10 in the afternoon. <BR/><BR/>Of course, things can change, but based on current models, and that cold air usually wins in these cases.. I wouldn't be counting on any thaw for Sunday.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
