Spring Weather Forecast #shorts

[00:00:00]late spring warm-up is maybe a good thing because we may be to the dry side.

[00:00:05]So, that the later we can sort of push that that start the better.

[00:00:09]What weather pattern is that? Is that setting up as you thought it would?

[00:00:15]It is pretty much by and large. You know, there's a sliver from uh just take Calgary and then stretch it out toward Regina or so. There was a sliver in there that was very warm. Once winter was done, you know, several weeks ago, it got hot and they're really dry, too. So, the drought of Montana and the Dakotas kind of moved up quickly. So, with the exception of that kind of arrow point head, if you will, the rest of Canada has performed very well for the forecast, I think. Uh you know, delaying kind of the warm-up in the spring can help hold on to that soil moisture.

[00:00:51]Let the soil wake up. Let the grasses and all the vegetation kind of wake up.

[00:00:55]Get some moisture on it and especially in April and early May before we may face the hotter temperatures, which are building in now, and periods where we're going to be too dry going forward. So, I think, you know, when I talked to Shawn, yeah, I think that was the first week of February or so.

[00:01:11]>> yeah. And then was up in Alberta a couple of times in February and March and all of those forecasts remain on track. But, out of all of those forecasts, we talked about the speed of this El Niño event moving in can have an impact on our summer and our fall, also. And that still remains on track.
