We cool off Monday, but an even colder shot comes in Tuesday into Wednesday, with the GFS showing -6C air at 850 mb by Wednesday morning. That could produce some heavy lake effect showers off the warm MB lakes, possibly even mixed with wet snow if the bands are heavy enough! Ridge builds in Thursday with the season's first widespread frost likely by then. So yeah, get and enjoy what looks like summer's last hurrah this weekend! <br /><br />By the way, record high for Winnipeg tomorrow is 32.4C.. and I think we'll break it. 850 mb temps rise to 19C, about 2C higher than today when we hit 31.7C, plus we have a westerly downslope flow and dry air. That should get us to between 33-34C Saturday, our 4th 30C+ reading this month, and our 23rd 30C reading of the year, most since 2006 (24 days) Record number of 30C days in one year appears to be shared by 1988 and 1961 at 34 days.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-90748949269501506252011-09-09T22:48:35.438-05:002011-09-09T22:48:35.438-05:00I understand we've officially returned to a La...I understand we've officially returned to a La Nina with a vengeance. Does this mean we will see those -40C temperatures and potentially an 80C (144F) differential in 6 months. <br />We came close in 1965-66 from +35.6C Aug 13 to -45.0 on Feb 18 one of 8 -40 readings that Jan/Feb . One of the coldest winters was ironically a waning El Nino. <br />1995-96 was more akin to this year. May thru August 1995 produced 22 days of 30 or more peaking at 37.8 on June17th. It produced a Summer ENSO Index (JJA) SST of 0.0. It also produced a nasty La Nina winter with an avg DJF anomaly of -2.8. More noticable were the 4 months in which the anomaly exceeded -4.9 to -6.9 Nov, Jan, Mar and April. Those 8 August Days of >30C produced a 34.0 on August`17 It didn't prepare one for a -37.0 on Dec 12 th less than 4 months later or -39.8 Jan 19th and -41.8 on Feb1stAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-56730396660688073752011-09-09T20:01:23.778-05:002011-09-09T20:01:23.778-05:00Could it be that we could go from getting near rec...Could it be that we could go from getting near record highs all this week, to all of sudden almost hitting record lows next week???

All this will happen before the big cooldown bringing with it a potential for frost and overnight lows near zero. Therefore the ridge in the jetstream over the prairies will break down, and will not see high pressure rebuild the ridge for a long while. <br /><br />So get the sunblock out, go to the beach and have fun. Winter is calling, meaning an end to our storm season! We will have to wait until 2012 for more of our storms.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-21573118435112286702011-09-09T19:31:58.571-05:002011-09-09T19:31:58.571-05:00If you all like hot weather get out and all enjoy ...If you all like hot weather get out and all enjoy this weekend, cause after that a wicked cold front will really take a bite out of the temperatures...daniel Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-45266688035522440602011-09-09T19:31:40.388-05:002011-09-09T19:31:40.388-05:00Anon... could you rephrase your question you were ...Anon... could you rephrase your question you were asking about 30C I'll try and answer you after.<br />ThanksMikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-41411298298130337032011-09-09T19:23:30.787-05:002011-09-09T19:23:30.787-05:00Thanks for the information Anon.

Back on June 30,1921 around midnight A severe thunderstorm pummelled killarney manitoba sending the temperature as high as 34C from a sudden wind gust. The temperature before the storm was close to 10C thats a 20C degree differnce. Although its not as bad as the temperature fluctutations in Texas it still was incredible. this particular incident occured by a heatburst they normally are characterized by gusty winds and a rapid increase in temperature and decrease in dewpoint as low as (-14C) the lower the dewpoint the hotter the air. These typically occur at nighttime and are an ocassional occurence with decaying thunderstorms, all depending on the atmospheres overall conditions.<br /><br /><br />Website sources:<br />http://www.wsd1.org/pj2k/weird_weather_facts.htmMikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-39400827499514965062011-09-07T12:14:55.931-05:002011-09-07T12:14:55.931-05:00Mike.. the southern and central plains of the US a...Mike.. the southern and central plains of the US are no strangers to wild swings in the weather. Because of their latitude, elevation and lack of moderating influences, they can go from mid winter cold to summer heat (or vice versa) very rapidly. Snow cover can cause temperatures to drop quickly in those areas, but that snowcover can also melt rapidly with warming winds from the southwest US and Mexico and a stronger southern sun. The same week that Lubbock recorded that 45C rise, Onatawa OK went from a state record low of -31F (-35C) on the 10th to 79F (26C) on the 17th.. an amazing 110F (61C) rise in a week. <br /><br />But it can happen even quicker. On Nov 11, 1911, a sharp cold front (known as a "blue norther") pushed through the southern plains, sending temperatures in Oklahoma City from a record high of 83F (28C) in the afternoon, to a record low of 17F (-8C) by midnight the same day, a plunge of 66F (36C) in less than 12 hours!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-61747253717438871532011-09-06T20:42:57.057-05:002011-09-06T20:42:57.057-05:00Seems like all of Texas has been dealing with a ne...Seems like all of Texas has been dealing with a never ending drought since the beginning of the year.

Re: Chris Burt's extreme weather blo...daniel..<br /><br />Re: Chris Burt's extreme weather blog post. Yeah, I saw that. Some amazing heat records coming out of the deep south. The most impressive one is from Lubbock and San Angelo TX. They had their hottest month ever in June, only to be followed by an even hotter July, only to be followed by an even hotter August. Their top 3 hottest months ever recorded in over 100 years were 3 consecutive months this summer. Chris Burt thinks such a stat is unprecedented in US weather history..robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-38720274037908881212011-09-06T09:51:05.160-05:002011-09-06T09:51:05.160-05:00Yep, a week of perfect weather.. sunny warm days, ...Yep, a week of perfect weather.. sunny warm days, cool comfortable nights.. low humidity and a bit of a breeze. Perfect. Unless you like some variety or wild weather.. then this week is supremely boring. <br /><br />Mike.. if you believe the long range models, looks like our next threat of rain won't be until the middle of next week some time.. (next Wed or Thu) We have a cool front pushing through on Sunday, but it should be dry with very little surface moisture to work with. Next organized system pushes in by next Thursday with some showers/tstorms possible. Until then, looks like a prolonged stretch of dry weather for us (7-10 days). Great time for those golf games or outdoor painting projects!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-21363423381839539182011-09-06T06:19:32.405-05:002011-09-06T06:19:32.405-05:00What a week we have to look forward too.
