Glacier FarmMedia – Weather conditions across the Canadian Prairies and the United States Midwest will likely take somewhat different paths during the first half of July, according to Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. in Overland Park, Kan.
“The Canadian Prairies still have another week of unsettled weather for the eastern part of the region,” Lerner said in an interview on July 2.
That’s to include scattered showers on a daily basis, while Alberta won’t see as much precipitation.

La Niña to fade early next year, neutral Pacific conditions likely, U.S. forecasters say
La Niña is expected to linger for another month or two before likely giving way to neutral Pacific conditions between January and March 2026, carrying a 68 per cent probability, the U.S. Climate Prediction Centre said on Thursday.
“We will see the western part of Canada drying down and heating up in general,” he added, noting the eastern portion will begin to get less rain during the week of July 8.
“The temperatures won’t be as warm as they will be in the west,” Lerner continued, adding those should return to normal levels.
As for the U.S., Lerner said the Midwest is to be cool and rainy.
“The only areas that are a problem are those in the upper Midwest where you are going to have excessive moisture around for a while,” he commented, noting there could be more localized flooding.
The eastern half of the Midwest and the Delta region will get some timely rains after being drier for some time.
“The southeastern states will finally get some relief from the drying that’s been occurring there for a while,” Lerner said.
