DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A much-talked-about blocking pattern will control our weather in the days ahead. While often there is an assumption that blocking means we are in for days of unsettled weather (perhaps cold and snow in winter, overcast with rain and drizzle in spring), this is not necessarily the case. The resultant weather in any given location comes down to the details of the block and where systems are located and how they move. It’s complex. Focusing on this particular 5-day period, we find that mostly dry weather will be in control with Canadian high pressure centered to our north. Disturbances will be generally passing to our south, but one will make a more solid run at us later in the weekend, likely to be thwarted by the high to the north – the result being that it will have only minimal impact on us. Nevertheless, it’s worth watching closely because a slightly weaker high and\/or a slightly stronger low and the results could be more significant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking pattern continues. One storm threat comes mid to late period – timing and precipitation type uncertain. Details to be worked out. Temperatures variable – averaging near to slightly above normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking pattern expected to continue. Obviously low confidence but one or two systems may bring some precipitation to the region during this period. Temperatures variable – averaging near to slightly below normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
