Nice little thunderstorm squall just went through Winnipeg between 10 and 10:30 pm this evening giving quite a light show, torrential rain and strong wind gusts. Winds gusted to 32 knots (60 km/h) at the airport, but doppler radar (right image) indicated wind gusts up to 50 kt (90 km/h) possible just southwest of the city (such as Oak Bluff and Sanford areas) I recorded 7 mm of rain in about 10 minutes, with a peak rainfall intensity of 110.7 mm/hr at 10:15 pm. Just what we didn't need.. more rain!
Nice. I suppose those maps are available only to meteorologists?
ReplyDeleteFor now, yes.. but hopefully these radar images will be available to the public sometime in the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm not holding my breath. I remember when we used to have live radar on cable; now we have delayed cartoon radar on the web... such wonderful progress.
