CBC meteorologists make open forecasts and answer your summer continue questions

The calendar says spring, yet what’s ahead?

CBC meteorologists Johanna Wagstaffe in Vancouver, Christy Climenhaga in Regina and Jay Scotland in Charlottetown were asked during a YouTube live about a weather, forecasting and a deteriorate forward opposite Canada.

Watch a whole video below, or corkscrew serve down for excerpts:

Q: Are we going to have a good summer?

JS: Little too early to start unequivocally digging into how a summer is moulding up. But we’re unequivocally focusing on a open deteriorate and we will contend … toward a finish of spring, we are going to see some warmer-than-normal temperatures streamer into summer. We are looking during a flattering cold start to spring, yet … that initial week of April. And this will be opposite most of a country, positively looking during Eastern Canada and here in Atlantic Canada.   

Q: Will it be prohibited like final year in Vancouver?

JW: We’ve had cooler-than-normal temperatures in a Pacific [Coast] partly due to that undulating jet tide … we’re still underneath a change of a La Nina impact, that does impact Western Canada more. This is where cooler-than-normal sea temperatures in a equatorial Pacific changes a jet streams and patterns all over a world. So we’ve got a slow La Nina, that means cooler for us in a West Coast; cooler-than-normal sea temperatures; and we’ve got a heavier snowpack. So that expected means it going to take a small longer altogether for a open to uncover up.

Q: With so most snow, how critical is a hazard of flooding this open in Alberta and Saskatchewan?

CC: You speak about a lot of snow, and we did get that, yet we got it unequivocally late …. Most of a winter [from Dec by February] was flattering dry. We’re really, unequivocally exhausting that belligerent moisture. And afterwards we take a step into March, and things only unequivocally change. We saw heavy, complicated flood into southern and executive Saskatchewan and tools of southern Alberta … good above normal levels of flood for about a final 25 days. So things have altered utterly a bit. Does this meant we’re going to see a lot of flooding? It looks like notwithstanding a snow, unless we get a unequivocally quick warp and see a lot of that H2O using off in a cities, it isn’t going to be a huge, outrageous threat.

Q: Any some-more large snow?

CC: We’re substantially going to get a small some-more sleet in a neck of a woods. we did discuss Calgary removing a small bit of snow, substantially toward a finish of a week. In some areas, we could see 10 and centimetres. Little bit serve toward a easterly and by a executive Prairies and into Manitoba, it competence be a small bit drier …. We’re going to be descending into that poetic Arctic high vigour that creates it so good and cold yet sunny. So we competence see a few flurries, generally into subsequent week, yet as for a subsequent small while it will be flattering dry.

JS: As we get into April, it becomes reduction and reduction likely, and it’s reduction expected a sleet will hang around all that long. We do have temperatures in a Atlantic that are most warmer than usual, yet something we have to cruise with temperatures that are warmer than normal — those sea aspect temperatures —  is a warmer a H2O is, a some-more H2O effluvium is in a atmosphere and a some-more flood these storms can produce. So yes, it is probable that we can be saying a complicated soppy sleet eventuality in a subsequent few weeks, yet a longer we get into Apr a reduction and reduction expected …. It certainly, historically, would not be that peculiar of an occurrence to see a sleet charge in Apr here on a island.
