NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Relatively warm temperatures are expected to linger over much of central Canada this fall. As a result, milder than usual temperatures are anticipated in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the western Maritimes well into October. Disturbances will bring a few wet spells to these areas but precipitation totals should end up near normal. In contrast, cooler northwesterlies from time to time will produce more seasonal temperatures across the western Prairies and British Columbia. Frost and occasional rain will be common in these areas, and snow is likely to be confined to higher elevations and northern regions. Near-normal precipitation is expected in these western areas in spite of a couple of heavier precipitation events. An unsettled weather pattern is emerging over the far eastern sections of the country. Here a series of storms, moving northward along the seaboard, threatens to bring frequent heavier rain and strong winds to the eastern Atlantic Provinces.
