WEEKLY FORECASTS

WINTER 2019–2020

The eastern Prairies should see a

persistent cold arctic f low through

most of the season while areas

farther to the west should be closer

to seasonable. Frequent storms

through Alberta and western

Saskatoon should make it a wetter

season than normal.

SUMMER 2020

Expect average to slightly above-

average temperatures this summer

with above-average precipitation.

Late July through mid-August we

should see some severe wind storms

that could bring about some light to

moderate damage, especially over

Saskatoon and Manitoba.

SPRING 2020

March and April will continue

with below-normal temperatures

well into late April, followed by

a pattern shift that will bring a

milder southwesterly f low that

will boost temperatures above

normal from mid-May to early June.

Precipitation will be below normal.

FALL 2020

September and October should

be cooler than normal. November

should be closer to average.

Precipitation levels will run above

normal toward the east and below

normal farther west.
