Models coming in line that rain will overspread southwest MB overnight into Thursday morning and then into the western Red River valley mainly west of a Portage to Emerson line. The rain shield then magically stops as it pivots to our west and south with the main upper low cutting off and drifting over the Dakotas. Winnipeg and areas north and east get little or no rain while areas west of a Portage-Emerson line get a good soaking of 20-30 mm into Friday. It will be interesting to see how well the models do on the eastward extent of the rain shield.. right now, Winnipeg looks to be on the edge of any significant rainfall but it will be a sharp boundary between rain/no rain. It's looking likely though that areas west of Winnipeg will be getting a good soaking with this system.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-7085605777360688722009-09-30T11:10:37.520-05:002009-09-30T11:10:37.520-05:00Any guess on how much rain Winnipeg will be gettin...Any guess on how much rain Winnipeg will be getting tomorrow????daniel Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-75755851404943846652009-09-29T22:59:58.795-05:002009-09-29T22:59:58.795-05:00Thanks for the links Rob and Jim.Thanks for the links Rob and Jim.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949425441824069047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-89704941126406323292009-09-29T21:54:37.627-05:002009-09-29T21:54:37.627-05:00Daniel I was interested in that as well until I cm...Daniel I was interested in that as well until I cmae across an EC map of growing seasons .

When I went to sleep it was still 8 C and cloudy!<br /><br />Also the did not shift to SE until 9 am.. had that happened just 2 hours earlier that large spike below zero would not have happened at YWG.<br /><br />It would be interesting to compare the length of growing season before and after the recording station was moved to its current location in the early/ mid 90s. It used to be much closer to the terminal building and away from the current drainage effects.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949425441824069047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-50201250928458837502009-09-29T18:07:26.120-05:002009-09-29T18:07:26.120-05:00Here in Silver Heights, I dropped to +0.9C this mo...Here in Silver Heights, I dropped to +0.9C this morning, but there was a hint of frost on the grass.
