Low Risk Produces Multiple Tornadoes In Saskatchewan

 We were in the grey risk zone for light thundershower possibilities at most, forecast models originally showed Wednesday as a non-event day. What actually happened was a line a rain over Regina kicked off strong convection from Moose Jaw to Bethune for only a few radar updates. It looks like that tiny line of storm cells was able to produce multiple weak tornado funnels that were able to disturb the ground. Still waiting, early this morning to hear some kind of official confirmation but from the video there seems to be no doubt at least one tornado will be confirmed that was near Bethune, the other one was allegedly north of Moose Jaw, not far off from Bethune.

A semi ended my chase early today. I'm okay. What really matters is the devastating damage these storms have done and are continuing to do. #newx #wxtwitter pic.twitter.com/KbMnhKY2VE

Current Snow Cover and Wildfire Maps

Spring is starting off a little slower this year, good thing to see the snow is now far away and wildfire smoke is minimal. Tornadoes have kept well south for the most part of the usual Tornado Alley in the states in April, that could change in a hurry but first there needs to be fog and lot more rain on the now very dry Canadian Prairies.

 Check our Weather Data Links page to see this and much more. The LIVE storm chasing page has also been updated and we will continue to add more YouTube channels as they become active.

 

Good News October Update

Fires are mostly out thanks to the rain and much more incoming. Especially for the BC coast and Vancouver Island, the long term GFS is suggesting insane amounts of rain and snow for the mountains. The first trace of snow can be expected on the prairies this week but only very briefly if at all anything but a couple melting flakes. Long term beyond the middle of October shows supercell activity has all vanished and snow is yet to arrive in any significant way. Looks like its going to be warm again after the rain this week, Saturday to Tuesday all above normal according to ECCC forecast in Regina. Alberta warmer, Manitoba cooler for the next 7 days.
