More Photos From Monday's Storm

Here is a few more photos from Monday's storm. The first one is from north of Rosetown, where we changed direction and headed back through Rosetown to follow the shelf. I've just gone through a bunch of video clips and found a few good lightning bursts. Too bad no stills but the video is gonna be very entertaining once I have it produced. It should be online by Tuesday night.

Back in Saskatoon

This was a massive storm. I will post details in a bit...

Alberta: 6cm Hail, Tornado Watch In Effect

Calgary saw the beginings of an incredible storm today. Here is a site with some great photos and weather information from Calgary: wx.ca
Environment Canada reported 6cm hail with these storms that headed out of the Calgary area towards Drumheller which is now under a tornado watch. The cells seem to have split at this time and severe thunderstorm watches have been extended into western Saskatchewan. This system is moving quickly north-east, possibly even skipping on radar. With a forecast of some very high temperatures around Saskatoon on Monday, this tends to suggest that these storms will be nocturnal (look at the moon). We could see these storms increase in strength after the sun goes down. This system must be watched closely. Check CanadianPrairieStorms Yahoo group for more...

What a Friday!

Just got back from work to upload some photos from this afternoon. Gunjan and I took a trip srtaight for Radisson and caught a brief tornado that had a dust column going all the way up to the base of the clouds for about 30 seconds. I got a couple of crappy shots while driving but Gunjan should be posting his photos sometime soon I hope. He has some decent shots of it. Other than that tornado which was south of Radisson, we got hit with whitout conditions and some marble size hail. Before that we were under some of the most amazing cloud displays of the year. Aqua Green! I have some video that I will post later and tons of photos to go through. Here is a couple more photos:

Quick Post- Back in Saskatoon

Gunjan and I took a quick trip out to Radisson and saw a brief tornado. My photo only shows the funnel and not much of a disturbance on the ground as I was driving. Gunjan got a better pickture. However here is a pretty scary taste of what we saw. I have to run to work...
