  • The Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Centre (PASPC), is tasked with forecasting weather for the public and mariners in the Canadian Prairie Provinces, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut Territory, and adjacent domestic waters. The PASPC operations are split between an office in Winnipeg, Manitoba and an office in Edmonton, Alberta. The agency provides continuous weather monitoring and issues weather forecasts, weather warnings and weather watches as a part of this process. Daily severe weather discussions are issued to give additional information on a region that is becoming a severe weather threat, stating whether a watch or warning is likely and details thereof. The agency is one of five weather forecast centres for the Meteorological Service of Canada. The other four weather centres are the Pacific and Yukon Storm Prediction Centre (Vancouver, British Columbia), the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre (Toronto, Ontario), the Quebec Storm Prediction Centre (Montreal, Quebec), and the Atlantic Storm Prediction Centre (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia). The Atlantic Storm Prediction Centre also houses the Canadian Hurricane Centre plus manages the Newfoundland and Labrador Weather Office (Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador). Each storm prediction centre provides continuous public and marine forecasts and warnings for various parts of Canada's sovereign territory. Aviation weather forecasts are produced separately by the two offices (Edmonton and Montreal) of the Canadian Meteorological Aviation Centre. The PASPC has the largest forecast area of responsibility among the five Storm Prediction Centres, covering a region greater than the other four offices combined; approximately 8,270,000 kmĀ² of Canada's territorial land and water. The Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Center is part of the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC), operating under the control of the Canadian federal department of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
