Prairie forecast: Typical spring weather expected; not dry, not wet

Forecast issued April 24, 2024; covering: April 24 – May 1

By Daniel Bezte April 24, 2024

It looks like this will be a good news, bad news forecast. For those of you hoping for rain, it may be good news. For those wanting things to dry out enough to get out working, it's a bit of bad news. The one thing, which is typical for spring forecasts, is that there's a fair bit of uncertainty.

We are putting out this week’s forecast a day earlier than usual, as the weather models now have a good handle on the predicted Colorado low and how it will impact the Prairies starting Tuesday. Here is what the weather models are predicting.

Prairie forecast: Spring has sprung but winter might not be done

Forecast issued April 10, 2024, covering April 10 to 17

By Daniel Bezte, GFM Network News April 10, 2024

Spring has definitely sprung across the prairies with only a few locations still having snow cover. Spring is a notorious time for forecasting as warm air builds to the south while cold air still sits to the north. That means this forecast period looks both easy and hard.

Prairie forecast: Cooler and unsettled west, mild and dry east

Forecast issued April 3, covering April 3 to 10

In a nutshell, it looks like Saskatchewan and Manitoba will see dry weather and nice, warm, spring temperatures. Alberta is going to have to deal with colder air being drawn southwards into the developing storm system over the south-central U.S. Along with the colder air, southern Alberta may deal with some more snow as moisture is pulled northward and then westward on the eastern side of the low.

Prairie forecast: Is winter making one last push?

Issued March 20, covering March 20-27, 2024

By Daniel Bezte, GFM Network News March 20, 2024

A sprawling Arctic high pressure system is poised to dominate the region, ushering in colder-than-normal temperatures reminiscent of January's grip, but not as cold. While cold snaps this time of year often bring snow, the prevailing high pressure suggests storm activity will largely skirt the area, save for southern and southwestern Alberta where significant snowfall is anticipated.

Prairie forecast: Very warm west, mild but a little unsettled east

Issued March 13, covering March 13 to 20

The cold weather has also been replaced by above average temperatures. The question I have been hearing the most is--has spring arrived or is there still a bit of winter left to be felt?
