The forecast through December indicates many areas of intense water deficit in the Maritimes, Newfoundland, Quebec, and Ontario. Widespread surpluses are expected in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Surpluses in British Columbia will be intense near Kelowna.
Canada: Water deficit persists on the QC/ON border, surplus near Kelowna, BC
The near-term forecast indicates a pattern of water anomalies much like the prior three months. Widespread surpluses will continue in northeastern Quebec, central Ontario, west of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, near Churchill Lake in Saskatchewan and into Alberta, the central border of Alberta and British Columbia, and southeastern BC. Deficit areas include: central Quebec and the Ontario/Quebec border; northwestern Ontario into central Manitoba; and southern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan. After March, surpluses in Quebec and Ontario will transition to deficit.
