Mild and dry forecast for Christmas in southern Manitoba
This Christmas will be warmer than normal, with not much precipitation for southern Manitoba. That is according to Scott Kehler with Weatherlogics. In fact, Kehler says pretty much the entire continent will be warmer than normal through the holidays.
The big business of weather
Canadians love to talk about the weather. And complain about it. But for businesses, bad weather can mean thousands of dollars in losses. So they need the best forecast money can buy. And, as it turns out, that actually helps all of us out.
With snow in the forecast, landscape could change in coming days
Another weather record has fallen in southern Manitoba. In a season that has seen temperature records broken, Meteorologist Scott Kehler with Weatherlogics says our area has now gone the longest period without snow.
Manitoba not done with summer weather yet, but forecast calls for cooling down
"Scott Kehler of Weatherlogics says the humidity has broken and there’s much drier air now, creating cooler temperatures. “The temperature trend’s going to be quite up and down,” Kehler told 680 CJOB’s Connecting Winnipeg on Monday. (There’s) fairly nice weather today, but it’ll be cooler tomorrow with highs probably struggling to hit 20C."
Spring finally arrives in Manitoba with above-seasonal temperatures in the forecast
"Scott Kehler of Weatherlogics says the normal high at this time of year is 9 C — but every forecasted high for the next week will exceed that, including a predicted 22 C on Saturday and 20 C on Sunday. But it’s not all up from here. Temperatures will drop down to seasonal — or potentially a little lower — before we get back to the much-needed warmth."
Near record-breaking temperatures Wednesday could foreshadow a brown Christmas
"December was the third warmest on record in Winnipeg, and (in) some parts of Manitoba it was the warmest on record, so overall a really mild start to the winter,” said Scott Kehler, president and chief scientist at Weatherlogics. El Niño – a periodic weather system that brings warm weather to much of North America – is partly to blame for the warmer and drier than normal conditions."

Cold, snowy start seen to Prairies’ winter

The western Prairies… had quite a significant winter storm,” Kehler said, noting another snowstorm already brewing for that part of the region.
