Could this be the last cold blast of Winter? Information Provided by A Weather Moment

This week could very well be the last and final blow of winter as we experience another week of below normal temperatures, but it appears that spring may be around the corner.

At the moment we have about 107cm of snow on the ground and it is the 8th warmest winter in history according to robsobsblog.blogspot.com. Read the full article here... http://robsobsblog.blogspot.ca/2016/02/cold-end-to-mild-winter-warmer-weather.html

 Tuesday will be a bit warmer than that of Monday which in fact was our coldest day of the week. High temperatures on the day Monday were in the minus twenties with windchills in the minus thirties near minus 40C. Why? Thank's to the arctic cold front that slipped through Sunday evening, that was responsible for bringing the blizzard like conditions that made for near zero visibilities in blowing snow. Luckily it didn't stay long. 

 

 Warmth out west waiting to expand further east, although the arctic airmass is continuing to hold it back.
Expect the warmth to gradually move east.

 

Tuesday will be a bit warmer with highs in the low minus teens, along with windchills near minus twenty. Skies will remain clear with arctic high pressure nearby off to the north, unfortunately that will be keeping our warm temperatures at bay until it clears out. Winds will be light out of the west as well with the main warm temperatures staying west of us.

 

Wednesday will be a similar day to Tuesday, except there will be winds out of the north rather than the west, clear to partly cloudy skies will be in place with high temperatures in the low minus teens near minus ten.

Here Is The Good News: Spring Weather Likely Next Week and Beyond

 

The long range is looking promising, various weather models are coming into strong agreement on warmer weather (above seasonal temperatures) arriving from the west starting this weekend, I double checked and I am not dreaming or am I making this up. Once the ridging out west comes into the province snow will likely melt quite quickly as there is a likelihood of temperatures surpassing the freezing mark we may even see days of near plus ten degrees. Given that there is a lack of snow cover out west and south of us including extreme southwestern Manitoba, there will likely be a very fast transition to spring weather. The warmth looks to persist into the Spring Equinox. If you don't believe me you can have a look at the weather models yourself at michaelmcgregor7.wix.com/southmbwxcentral.
