Warmer than normal lake temperatures increases the risk of heavy lake effect events off larger lakes.. in the form of rainshowers early in the season, or snowsqualls once the air gets cold enough in October. The effect of warmer lake waters however would be short lived, as any spell of below normal temperatures will quickly cool off lake waters to normal values. <br /><br />Speaking of lake effect, there's a good possibility of off lake steamers off the MB lakes Sunday night into Monday with -2 to -5C air at 850 mb moving over 20C lake waters. That's getting into extreme instability capable of heavy lake effect precipitation, but wind shear may weaken streamers.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-39079913573074783122009-09-23T16:44:07.396-05:002009-09-23T16:44:07.396-05:00Typically in the first couple of weeks in October ...Typically in the first couple of weeks in October we see several overcast days in a row as cool NW winds move over the lakes.

That's the cold air coming in for Sep 30-Oct 1 that the GFS is showing will fuel that snowstorm over Montana..

That will make the 17th 25C day of the month.. a new record for September. I think we'll see a couple more 25C days Thursday and Friday (current forecast high of 24C seems a tad low for Thursday) before the big change Sunday.

Our temperatures then moderate for the last couple of days of September before hints of another cool down for the first few days of October. (GFS even showing the possibility of an early season snowstorm through southern AB/southwest SK/Montana by October 1st.. but again, it's a day 8 forecast from a model that likes to overdevelop things in the long range. Still something to watch..)robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-64528462969673706352009-09-22T22:28:17.047-05:002009-09-22T22:28:17.047-05:00Yes Rob!

Look for highs of 30C in Saskatoon, 33C in Calgary, with 35C likely in a few places like Drumheller.<br /><br />As Scott mentioned, that heat spreads east into southern MB Thursday, with some 30C temps possible mainly west of the RRV.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-42441288357234403302009-09-22T21:09:16.950-05:002009-09-22T21:09:16.950-05:00GFS and ECMWF are really developing that low next ...GFS and ECMWF are really developing that low next Sunday into Monday as it moves into NW Ontario. Some very cold air and strong winds coming in behind it Sunday night into Monday with single digit highs possible Monday if the GFS is right.. as well as the possibility of .. yikes.. snowflurries. Hopefully GFS is overdoing things as it's prone to do sometimes.. but sooner or later, you know a change is going to come!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-27432165143548572662009-09-22T20:47:22.546-05:002009-09-22T20:47:22.546-05:00Fall is barreling our way, with this weekend being...Fall is barreling our way, with this weekend being a noticeable transition period. Models are showing temperatures in the low twenties for Thunder Bay this week...contrast that with the chance of heavy wet snow on Monday in the same place!<br /><br />Some places might sneak up to 30C one more time this year over SW MB on Thursday. With 850mb temps expected to be near 18C, we should get high twenties, with the odd thirty possible.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.com
