After a nice few days with warm temperatures across the prairies, expect a change to cooler than normal weather conditions for the beginning of this week.
A cold front is expected to swing south over the province tonight and early tomorrow morning, bringing with it a chance for some light and local blowing snow across the south part of the province. With the passage of the cold front by Monday afternoon skies will clear and winds will shift towards the north, it could become quite strong (60km/h at times), that will aid in cooling our temperatures throughout the day.Temperatures will moderate on Tuesday and Wednesday, before we see temperatures that will be colder with high windchill values for the end of this week and into the weekend with nice conditions. The arrival of a high pressure system will promote the cold temperatures, as it sits sit over the prairies for a few days. This will allow for our temperatures to fall well below normal. Expect it to clear out by the beginning of next week, giving us a chance to finally get back to our normal pacific weather that we have been experiencing all winter. Till then you will have to brave the cold!
Stay up to date on how cold the weather will get here.......
This could be the last push of cold air of the winter, it's to far ahead to tell at this point. What I can tell you we will get warmer weather soon as the Subtropical Jet stream tries to edge it's way north.
ReplyDeleteI hope its the last cold weather. I know we've been lucky this year with very little cold but any cold is too much. I'm talking the low -30 range.
ReplyDeleteI completly agree with with you, I am getting tired of this cold weather. All we need now is for the snow to melt and the jetstream to start travelling north, thats my kind of weather!
ReplyDeleteIn a couple weeks or so I will release my spring outlook....
It's official we have hit -40C at 820 am!
