Lightning north of Lipton, Saskatchewan

 We chased an incredible series of supercells today ending with this incredible strike right in front of us! Many many photos and video to come!

Tomorrow At 3pm - Forecast Model/Mapped Target

Have a look at the EHI for tomorrow at 3pm. Tornadoes should start to touchdown sometime between 3pm and 7pm as this and the CAPE both fizzle on the forecast model. Best chance to see a tornado will be between Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, again very much like last week. Only this time, conditions have increased in energy and potential for what will likely be stronger, longer track tornadoes, starting from the south, earlier in the day. The forecast high for Regina tomorrow is 30C. The magical trigger point is 29C so that with a very strong jet stream and low pressure system and winds aloft also near maximum levels, oh and need I mention the moisture? Smells like the perfect soup to me. :)

Check the most current forecast and warnings, be prepared, stay safe and keep up to date with our storm chasers list on twitter. Its going to be another memorable day, on canadianprairiestorms.blogspot.com

Tornado Tuesday- Repeat or Ramp Up?

After a nearly stationary lightning storm last night, conditions are setting up for a possible repeat of last Tuesday's tornado in the same area. It seems that Old Wives Lake is becoming less of a fairy tail and more like a true tornado tale! Regina's lightning detector recorded one of the highest numbers of strikes in its history with a peak of 312 strikes per minute and nearly 100000 total strikes at last count. Reed Timmer posted last night that tomorrows models are suggesting that both major cities in Saskatchewan will be at risk to be hit by a powerful long track tornado by Tuesday evening. PSPC said today that the area most at risk will be just east of Moose Jaw and south of the Trans Canada highway sometime before dark. Chasers and spotters are now preparing for another busy day. Stay tuned for updates!

Lightning Storm In Regina - July 1, 2012

Storm cells are reorganizing to our west and we should have another show soon! Check the ustream channel as I will start the live stream again soon: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jaredmysko

NEW VIDEO:

BIRTH OF A TORNADO

Incredible live stream recorded footage of the birth of the tornado on Tuesday. This 28 minute video includes the huge circulating wall cloud starting at 7:00. At around the 22:00 mark it shows strong circulation above us then moves the pond right beside us. Gunjan Sinha is seen wearing his hard hat, then Greg Johnson and the media circus go right passed us. The video ends as it seems like the storm is done but it was only just reorganizing.
