Things are a bit more tranquil here in Canada. Signals are strong for another significant warmup with little precipitation for western Canada, especially in BC and northern Alberta next week.

We will be releasing the summer 2019 Canada outlook next week, and I certainly have concerns about the potential for an extended stretch of very warm and dry conditions over portions of the west this summer.
