The Good: There are a few scattered showers pushing through western Saskatchewan, while the remainder of the Prairies is dry. The dry weather is expected to persist across the Prairies through the weekend before a system pushes across the Prairies early next week. The bulk of the precipitation is expected to fall from northern Alberta through northern Saskatchewan. The southern and central Prairies will remain dry over the next week which will help boost early spring fieldwork in southern areas. Northern and central regions are still a long way from beginning spring fieldwork.

GOOD MORNING…HERE IS YOUR MORNING MARKET NEWS OVERNIGHT GRAIN TRADE Grain markets are in the green to start this morning….
Temperatures are relatively mild this morning with overnight lows generally in the -2 to -5C range. Highs today are expected to reach the mid to upper single digits. Temperatures are expected to rise to the low double digits through the weekend. Temperatures will cool back to the single digits early next week before rebounding to the low double digits. Average temperatures for this time of year are in the upper single digits to low teens.
The long-term forecast is calling for the development of a large trough across the Prairies bringing below normal temperatures to the region during the last half of the month. The trough will slow the start of spring fieldwork across the region. Below normal temperatures do not mean that daily highs will remain winter like with temperatures on most days reaching the upper single digits to low teens. Overnight lows will remain close to the freezing which will keep soil temperatures from rising rapidly.
