Big Storms Today: What the models say..

There is a vast difference as usual between the hrrr and NAM Nest models once again. Here are some clips of the most potentially significant severe weather. Generally along the SK/MB border there will be high risk of strong tornadoes. Another dangerous storm is expected in western Saskatchewan. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main factors there. The NAM Nest actually pins a maximum wind of 68 knots or 126km/hr as you can see in the last image. Some really impressive images here, now we wait and see how it all pans out.

 

Upgraded: High Risk Today / Risk of Tornadoes SK/MB

ECCC has upgraded today's Thunderstorm Risk to High along the SK/MB border. Tornadoes, hail up to 6cm and wind gusts up to 110km/hr are the main risks in the orange zone. #skstorm #MBStorm

Note: The storms are expected to emerge from the Regina area around noon and we are charging all devices in case there is a thunderstorm show to film here.

 

Tuesday Turning To Wednesday?

Today's Thunderstorm Outlook from PASPC has downgraded the risk and models suggest things are being delayed until Wednesday. Central Saskatchewan will be the focus this evening with a moderate risk of severe thunderstorms. On Wednesday the storms ramp up significantly according to the latest NAM Nest. Border areas of western and southeastern Saskatchewan could see some top level action but keep in mind these models have been changing drastically run to run. Things WILL CHANGE, stay safe by keeping up to date with the latest here and by watching the skies, radar and official alerts.

Thunderstorm Outlook with Risk of Tornadoes in Alberta

 It was very foggy this morning in Regina, models show that as it clears up the thunderstorms also clear right out. Absolutely zero rain or anything close to a thunderstorm on both hrrr and NAM Nest forecast models across the eastern prairies this evening. Tuesday looks like our day. Tornadic storms from Alberta this afternoon and evening should arrive in southern Saskatchewan by Tuesday afternoon/evening according to the NAM Nest.
