Northwest Flow Brings a Microburst - Heatwave Incoming/Storms To Follow July 2nd

June 25th, 2021 

Watch towards the end as incoming rain send dusts into the air over downtown Regina. I was filming on the south shore of Wascana in front of the Legislature, the downtown core is the bank of lights on the right side of the horizon. A kayaker happened to have parked right there and we had a nice chat as he docked for the night. Rain was quite steady and moderate to light with no flooding seen on the way home afterwards. 

Looking ahead to July, a heat wave from California to British Columbia will eventually make its way over the mountains and onto the prairies. We are looking at July 2nd and 3rd as the next chance to see big time thunderstorms on the Canadian Prairies.

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!"

Timelapse of Developing Storm Cells - July 20, 2020

Expecting some non-severe thunderstorms this afternoon, I set up this timelapse at the edge of the city of Regina and then tracked back towards Wascana Creek. This is before and during the previously posted live stream at a small shelter along Wascana Creek: (6100 Brunskill Place in north west Regina). Ended up with only a few rain drops along my locations but radar clips saved on my Twitter page (@jaredmysko) show that it jumped the city again, and turned purple (60dbz) or near maximum strength just on the other side of the city.

Was fun, might do another one soon! Risk of thunderstorms until 8pm in Regina. Tomorrow the risk is in northern Alberta and its yellow, not grey like today. The really big storms will begin to cross the prairies with the increased heat this week, its gonna stay very active!
