Blyth 523-4820 New weather forecast in operation Ontario weather now comes in new packages, Environment Can­ ada introduced new public forecast areas. “We had suggestions in recent years that we should differentiate more clearly between the areas covered by our public and marine forecasts,” explained Phil Aber, Ontario Regional Director of Envir­ onment Canada’s weather service. “Both sets of areas were named after the Great Lakes. In addition, the size of the old public areas made it difficult for the forecasters to properly describe the location of small scale weather features, such as snowsqualls.” The names of the new areas will be easier for residents to recog­ nize, while the three different scales will allow forecasters to adjust the size of the forecast area to the weather conditions being forecast. The smallest scale will be used when significant local weather variations are expected. The med- iumscaleareawillbe used most frequently when describing the weather for today and tomorrow. “Wealsohopetoimprove the usefulness of the extended out­ looks by reducing and better defining the large scale forecast areas. Instead of the three areas we now have, the new system will have five,” Mr. Aber added. Brochures and maps explaining the new system have been mailed to media outlets in Ontario and are also available from Environment Canada weather offices and the weather service’s regional head­ quarters in Toronto.
