Weekend Outlook

#skstorm #abstorm Weekend Outlook:
There is a chance of non-severe thundershowers over southern Saskatchewan on Friday afternoon. More significantly, a trend of wet weather begins over dry grain belt areas which will knock down the risk of fire and provide much needed moisture to farmers. On Sunday, the first real chance of super cellular thunderstorm activity will be present in southern Alberta. This mean severe thunderstorm watches, the first severe weather outlook map and giddy storm starved chasers may suddenly appear out of their hibernation.

Note: There is a 1% or non-zero chance of isolated tornadic spin ups over south western Saskatchewan Friday afternoon. Highly unlikely to be of any significance but would not be right to miss mentioning.

Video included is the NAM Nest forecast model for 6am Friday to 6am Saturday, first clip is Simulated Reflectivity, second clip is Significant Tornado Index.

Deadly Tornado Strikes Manitoba

August 3, 2018
One person was killed and a house was lifted off its foundation and destroyed along with numerous campers and vehicles in Alonsa, Manitoba on the shores of Lake Manitoba east of Dauphin. Incredible footage from several sources tweeted out photos and video of the event which was the first tornado related death in Canada since Goderich, Ontario in 2011.
