“We are starting to see hints of warmer weather arriving in Alberta,” the chief scientist for Weatherlogics stated, noting that Manitoba and Saskatchewan are to get temperatures that are normal to below normal.
Alberta to be warmer, drier than Manitoba, Saskatchewan ‘a mixed bag’
Prairie forecast: Drier with a slow warming trend
Now—for those of you who still need rain, the developing pattern doesn't look like an overall dry pattern. It's just not all clouds with the threat of showers every couple of days. For those of you on the eastern Prairies who are tired of rain then a little sunshine and heat is what the doctor ordered.

Prairie forecast: Plenty of chances for rain
Forecast issued May 29, covering May 20 to June 5, 2024

Prairie forecast: Cool, unsettled weather across the Prairies
Forecast issued May 22, covering May 22 to 29, 2024
Rainy, cool and unsettled weather to continue across the Prairies as the influence of upper lows continue.
Prairie forecast: Cool and unsettled weather across the Prairies
For this forecast period, well, it's a bit of a mess. Overall, it looks like we could be stuck in a cool, wet pattern until the end of the month.
Prairie forecast: Mild with a chance of showers
A large area of low pressure stalled out just south of the Prairies early this week, bringing some much-needed significant rains that stretched from western Manitoba through Saskatchewan and into Alberta. This low is forecasted to rapidly break down over the next day or so and make way for some nice late-spring weather.

The weather and subsequent forecasts lately have been—to state it simply—a mess. A very active but difficult to forecast pattern has developed across much of Canada and the northern U.S. states. This has brought damp and cool weather to most regions of the Prairies and unfortunately, it looks like this weather will be sticking around at least until the weekend.
Seasonal outlook points to warmer Canadian weather
Warmer than normal temperatures are to be expected across most of Canada over the next three months, according to the latest long-range seasonal forecast from Environment and Climate Change Canada as of April 30.
Prairie forecast: Typical spring weather expected; not dry, not wet
Forecast issued April 24, 2024; covering: April 24 – May 1
It looks like this will be a good news, bad news forecast. For those of you hoping for rain, it may be good news. For those wanting things to dry out enough to get out working, it's a bit of bad news. The one thing, which is typical for spring forecasts, is that there's a fair bit of uncertainty.
