For this forecast period, it seems set to dry out and warm up. I suppose that's good for the areas that recently received significant rainfall and not so good for those regions dealing with fires.
Weather
Prairie forecast: Cool and damp, then sunny and warm
Forecast issued May 21, covering May 21 to 28, 2025
Prairie forecast: Cool long weekend expected for Saskatchewan and Manitoba
Forecast issued May 14, covering May 14 to 21, 2025
Across the eastern Prairies, all eyes are on the breakdown of the western trough and the resulting ejection of the final area of low pressure. The weather models are still trying to get a handle on this feature.
Grain monitoring critical in spring
Grain temperature should be checked every two weeks during the spring and summer
The sun creates more than twice as much heat gain on the south wall of a bin in spring as it does during the summer. That, in addition to the solar heat gain on the bin roof, can lead to grain spoilage, NDSU warns.
More stable ENSO neutral weather conditions expected for summer
More stable summer weather is expected to be favoured the northern hemisphere thanks to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) neutral conditions, the United States’ Climate Prediction Center said on Thursday.
Prairie forecast: Hot east, cool west
Forecast issued May 7, covering May 7 to 14, 2025
We saw a strong ridge of high pressure build in last week, which brought daytime highs into the low thirties across parts of the eastern Prairies. Once the ridge collapsed, cooler air moved back in. Well, it looks like we can expect another cycle of building and collapsing ridges. Then, starting on the weekend, the weather pattern should become more energetic thanks to a strong trough of low pressure forecasted to develop off the West Coast.
Drought preparation is better than reaction

Prairie forecast: Here comes the summery weather
Forecast issued April 30, covering April 30 to May 7, 2025
Well, one week is up and as I pointed out in last week's forecast, the weather pattern still looks like it is going to flip from a cool-ish spring regime right into a summer-like pattern. This flip should happen over the next few days.
Silverado EV, F-150 Lightning take a cold comparison
CAA evaluated the two EV pickups as part of a winter road test
The object of CAA’s test was to determine the actual cold-weather driving range for each of the vehicles involved, and compare that to their manufacturers’ published claims.
Prairie forecast: Warm weather gaining ground
Forecast issued April 23, covering April 23 to 30, 2025
We start this forecast period with an area of low pressure exiting the eastern Prairie and taking the rain and wet snow with it. To the west, a weak frontal system looks ready to drop into northern Alberta where it should bring scattered showers.
