June 26, 2012 Tornado Screen Captures

Playing around with the levels and lightning after grabbing screen captures from Tuesday, June 26th tornado west of Moose Jaw. You can actually see in some of these screen captures that the hail was literally going straight across, right in front of my face!

The blur in the above photo is hail whipping across my nose at 150 km/hr! 

Let me know which version you like and prints may be eventually made available!

3 New Videos!

Since it seems that things often tend to come in threes, here is the yet unseen footage of the 3 days before the tornado. From Cypress Hills, Alberta and our encounter with high winds, fog and antelope, to the supercell of Oyen to core punching Kindersley. Then off to Saskatoon and chasing Tuesday morning from Deifenbaker Lake and the beginning of the tornadic supercell at Hodgeville, Saskatchewan.

Again, excitement is building today as Tornado Tuesday, part 3 is becoming a reality. Forecast models are suggesting another outbreak of severe weather over Saskatchewan for the 3rd Tuesday in a row! So far we are two for two on Tuesdays as this past week Greg Johnson and company caught the tornado near Deifenbaker Lake on his live stream at tornadohunter.ca 

Check out my partner Gunjan Shadow Hunter's YouTube channel as he continues to upload incredible footage from all of these chase days with spectacular timelapse photography set to awe inspiring musical scores!

No Storms Today - Last Night's Rainbow, Sunset and Lightning

Quiet day in Saskatchewan today, no storms in the forecast for today. 

Update! I'm working on a full length video from this chase this afternoon so keep it locked on Canadian Prairie Storms for more..

Lightning north of Lipton, Saskatchewan

 We chased an incredible series of supercells today ending with this incredible strike right in front of us! Many many photos and video to come!

Tomorrow At 3pm - Forecast Model/Mapped Target

Have a look at the EHI for tomorrow at 3pm. Tornadoes should start to touchdown sometime between 3pm and 7pm as this and the CAPE both fizzle on the forecast model. Best chance to see a tornado will be between Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, again very much like last week. Only this time, conditions have increased in energy and potential for what will likely be stronger, longer track tornadoes, starting from the south, earlier in the day. The forecast high for Regina tomorrow is 30C. The magical trigger point is 29C so that with a very strong jet stream and low pressure system and winds aloft also near maximum levels, oh and need I mention the moisture? Smells like the perfect soup to me. :)

Check the most current forecast and warnings, be prepared, stay safe and keep up to date with our storm chasers list on twitter. Its going to be another memorable day, on canadianprairiestorms.blogspot.com
