A similar pattern is expected this winter. Most areas will see near-normal precipitation totals, Scott said, but above normal precipitation is anticipated for western parts of Yukon. Milder temperatures are expected across western regions of the North with near-normal temperatures elsewhere. "As you move farther north - northern New Brunswick, Baie de Chaleur and then through Labrador - we think it will be closer to normal just as we get away from that warmer water influence and precipitation we do expect to average close to or above normal." Warmer water on the east coast should dictate above normal temperatures on average for southern New Brunswick, P.E.I., Nova Scotia and most of Newfoundland. Near normal temperatures are expected across the region this winter. The fall will include dry periods and wetter-than-normal conditions due to occasional storms. Scott said above normal-temperatures are expected for southern areas with near-normal temperatures elsewhere. "The trend into fall is for near normal precipitation so hopefully we can hold that and not having anything that's too wet so that agricultural interests can get the harvest in this fall." It's been a tough year for farmers with wet conditions around Edmonton and the north and dry weather through parts of the south-western grain belt, he said. Scott said it's hard to say exactly what will happen across the Prairies region because there have been so many wild weather fluctuations. Near-normal temperatures are expected for fall and a milder-than-normal winter in westernmost parts of the region and colder temperatures are likely to the east. and Alaska is very warm, it's very toasty there, as is the Atlantic Ocean south of Atlantic Canada." "What is interesting is that the Northern Pacific, off the coast of B.C. Milder than normal temperatures are expected for the winter.
While fall will include stretches of dry weather, wet weather will overdeliver with above normal rainfall in coastal areas. Scott said the network is forecasting slightly warmer than normal temperatures for fall. The winter will have some similarities to some harsher winters and there could be a delayed start to consistent winter weather as was the case last year. "This is not a winter that we get off the hook easily," said Scott. A colder than normal winter is expected for most of the region. The network is predicting near-normal temperatures for the fall with extended periods of both mild and cold weather. Scott broke down the winter forecast for each region in Canada: This looks like a pretty cold winter for much of the central and eastern parts of the country at this point given what we're seeing in the oceans." "The bottom line here is a fair amount of winter weather to go around. "When you look at the centre of the country, for the most part, we think this fall is going to be pretty much bang on normal for temperatures, maybe shading a bit cooler than normal towards the Hudson's Bay lowlands, in northern Ontario, northern Manitoba and northwestern Quebec," Scott said.Ī milder winter is expected in British Columbia and the western parts of the Prairies, he said, but it trends colder to the east all the way to Atlantic Canada.
Near-normal fall temperatures are expected in the Prairies, Ontario and Quebec.
"It's not going to rain all the time, it just means that when it rains, it really, truly will pour," he said. He added that precipitation will also be right around the average in most parts of Canada. "We don't think this fall has really wild departures from normal in store," said The Weather Network's chief meteorologist Chris Scott.
