Early morning Storm Discussion : Tornadoes Today!

Good morning!

It is unusually dark out in Regina this morning, expecting things to clear up fast near noon with big storms to the west. Here is some early morning discussion before official things get issued:

Looking at the difference between the Hrrr and NAM Nest forecast models, the Hrrr seems to be confirming current radar and if it continues we will see much stronger storms to our west, Moose Jaw is going to be flooded (4 inches/10cm) Regina (1 inch/3cm).

Winds over 150km/hr at the Montana border will be pushing things towards us, new model runs keep suggesting tornadoes will be possible around Old Wives Lake, likely to the south and east of there after 5pm... expecting tornado watches any second..

 

2021 Storms Video Playlist / Hurricane Force Blizzard Hits Regina - January 13-14, 2021

 Here is a playlist of videos from our YouTube channel from the Hurricane Force Blizzard that hit Regina, Saskatchewan on January 13 with aftermath video from the 14th, 2021.

"Heavy rain, freezing rain and well above normal temperatures began an historic day for the city of Regina, Saskatchewan. Wind speeds over 140km/hr were recorded just south of the city. Sustained winds over 94km/hr lasted about 3 hours 11pm to 2am. Widespread damage is being reported and cleanup is now underway. I went out for a couple walks during the storm and caught a few snow-nadoes and a lot of wild and scary winds!"
