Prairie forecast: Prolonged heatwave expected
Forecast issued July 17, covering July 17 to 24, 2024
The second heatwave of the summer appears to be establishing itself across the Prairies. This heatwave looks to last the whole forecast period as a strong upper ridge builds over central North America. Intense heat will stretch from the southern U.S. to the Arctic ocean.
Prairie forecast: More typical summer weather
Forecast issued July 10, covering July 10 to 17, 2024
For this forecast period, it looks like the upper ridge will slowly flatten and drop southwards as a series of weak lows track across the northern Prairies. This will result in a reduction in the extreme temperatures. Daytime highs and overnight lows should fall back to more seasonable values.
Prairie forecast: A switch in the weather pattern?
Forecast issued July 3, covering July 3 to 10, 2024
Over the last couple weeks, I've been asked repeatedly, “when will summer actually get here?” This is especially true over the eastern Prairies. It just doesn't and hasn’t felt like summer yet. Well, it looks like the cool, unsettled weather pattern will be breaking down during this forecast period. This will allow much more summer-like temperature to move in.
Prairie forecast: A slow slide into summer
Forecast issued June 26, covering June 26 to July 3, 2024
For a change, this forecast period starts of with weak high pressure in place across the Prairies. This brings a mix of sun and clouds and near-average temperatures. Any below-average temperatures are the thanks to the return flow behind the strong area of low pressure which, as predicted, tracked across the central and northern Prairies and brought all sorts of severe weather earlier this week.

Prairie forecast: Drier with a slow warming trend
Now—for those of you who still need rain, the developing pattern doesn't look like an overall dry pattern. It's just not all clouds with the threat of showers every couple of days. For those of you on the eastern Prairies who are tired of rain then a little sunshine and heat is what the doctor ordered.
Prairie forecast: Plenty of chances for rain
Forecast issued May 29, covering May 20 to June 5, 2024
Looking at the big picture, we should see some warmer temperatures—after all it is June—but I still don't see signs of any sustained heat.

Rainy, cool and unsettled weather to continue across the Prairies as the influence of upper lows continue.
