Yet another thunderstorm this afternoon over the city of Regina. This one produced only some light sun showers but darkened the skies over downtown much of the afternoon as a small storm cell slowly creeped its way west. Radar indicates that it is going in the opposite direction of stronger storms in Alberta. It actually looks like it will collide with another larger cell south of Moose Jaw and turn back this way later tonight.
Nothing much came of this storm today as it skipped right past the city. Just some dark clouds and light rain. There was some nice updraft above the Saskatchewan Legislature that only lasted a few minutes. The first photo in this series was taken through the lense of my sunglasses for a neat effect.
Many tree branches were knocked down after a heavy rain storm that
brought flash flooding and high winds to the city of Regina,
Saskatchewan.
Wascana Lake has flooding over its banks again today after yesterday's
heavy rainfall and today it rose even more after this little
thundershower. Pea size hail landed at our house to motivate me to
ride into the park for a photo session and I was glad that I did.
Capturing some good thunder rumbles and cloud formations. One large
tree branch was down in the park but that might have happened earlier
as the winds were not much of a factor this afternoon. Gusts were much
stronger yesterday after approximately 7 cm of rain fell on the city
and most of southern Saskatchewan. Flooding is now becoming an issue
once again as areas in south eastern Saskatchewan got soaked over
already drenched farm land. I included a snapshot of me and my 'storm
chasing vehicle' in front of the Wascana Lake and Saskatchewan
Legislature.

don't often enhance photos unless they really need it.
