For this forecast period it looks like the active pattern that developed last week will continue with a couple of lows forecasted to impact parts of the Prairies.

For this forecast period we start with a small but fairly potent area of low pressure lifting northwards through Manitoba. Meanwhile, weak high pressure is covering Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Our current unsettled and—for lack of better word—'messy' weather pattern looks to continue for at least one more week.

This forecast period starts with a broad, cool area of high pressure stretching across the Prairie provinces. The cool air combined with strong mid-summer sunshine is leading to partly cloudy skies along with the odd shower or thundershower.

For this forecast period we are starting off with a large area of high pressure over Ontario and an equally large area of low pressure over the Yukon. The clockwise flow around the Ontario high, combined with the counterclockwise flow around the Yukon low, is creating a widespread southerly flow across the Prairies. This should lead to one more day of warm temperatures across the western Prairies and a couple more days over the eastern half.

We start this forecast period with warm high pressure in place across the eastern Prairies and a developing area of low pressure over Alberta.
