August 30th Timelapse of Incoming Storm Clouds / Clearing out the smoke #skstorm

 
Smoke briefly cleared out a storm cloud view, however strong thunderstorms were hidden behind the smoke shield for the most part as I filmed from Wascana Lake yesterday. Radar indicated storms just west of the city (Pense) but they kept rolling by northbound and wildfire smoke wrapped it up for me. September 9th continues to show potential. It not over yet!

Moderate Risk #skstorm Supercells on Wednesday

The latest high resolution forecast model is showing a line of strong thunderstorms across southeast Saskatchewan between 5pm and 9pm, moving northeast from there overnight into Manitoba for Thursday's risk. Up to 2 cm hail and flash flooding are the main risks. High winds and tornado risk are very low. Supercell structure might be good. Note: tornado risk increases overnight into Thursday for Manitoba. Several waves possible.
