Danger Area in northern Florida Wednesday morning

Strong Thunderstorm / Weak Tornado Wednesday

Spotted a tornado in the first run of the NAM Nest 18z which shows a system developing over the city of Regina between 7pm and 9pm with 0.74 inches/1.9cm of rain, potential for a weak tornado and the supercell index climbed well above what the GFS was saying last night. Looks very localized, most of southeast Saskatchewan will get showers and lightning at most. Keep in mind the smoke could tear this whole idea apart, wildfire / forest fire smoke continues to be very bad in the far north. Add a strong full moon cycle as well into the mix and it will get interesting for sure, storm season isn't over.

Long Term GFS Says: Supercell Season continues... #skstorm

 Looking at the potential for supercell thunderstorms in the long term GFS forecast model late into August now, in fact Wednesday to Thursday, August 30th and 31st could be a tiny spot of potential in southeast Saskatchewan and into Manitoba. Further down the charts, September 9th continues to pop up as the next "big one". Keeping an eye on that date as well as incoming CME's from spaceweather.com

HOLD ON #SKSTORM Next Lightning Opportunity?: Midnight Wednesday, Cooler Today.. or read below for instant update

Forecast models are coming in colder this morning as rain has cooled things off significantly. As the sunshine begins to cook things up, it will be a matter of how fast the sunshine can boil up the atmospheric moisture. As of 8am Monday, we are looking at some organized thunderstorms, possible supercells entering the Regina City area by midnight Wednesday night. Extremely strong storms are possible with tornadoes, but for now those will stay south in North Dakota. .. HOLD ON...

Instant Update: The NAM Nest is coming back in hot, extreme storms with tornadoes now possible in southeast Saskatchewan or North Dakota. Watching this system close. I have Thursday off.
