Overall though, doesn't look like a good overall pattern for thunderstorms as we get a massive upper ridge building to our west, and we get a predominantly NW upper flow over us which generally is a drier and more stable flow. Which is OK by me.. I need to dry out! robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-3609059386011296482013-06-29T23:03:08.802-05:002013-06-29T23:03:08.802-05:00>> Anonymous said...Wow.

There are hints of a front passing though Friday which may cut into the highs that day with slightly cooler conditions for the weekend.. but that's still a few days away and timing may change. <br /><br />But that's still not as toasty as southern Okanagan will be as temps climb to the 40C mark early next week, with some of the traditionally hotter spots like Lytton, Ashcroft, Lilloet, and Osoyoos likely hitting 40-43C by Monday or Tuesday! robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-44582336406326690072013-06-29T14:15:44.439-05:002013-06-29T14:15:44.439-05:00Rob, do you think temps next Thursday and Friday w...Rob, do you think temps next Thursday and Friday will actually reach the mid thirties as predicted here in the Winnipeg and much of Southern MB?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-3932217284621743602013-06-29T12:33:01.420-05:002013-06-29T12:33:01.420-05:00Brendon...

They are not the same as funnel clouds associated with high energy supercell environments that can evolve into more violent and longer lived tornadoes that are capable of much more damage and injury. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-61427470944631903152013-06-29T12:24:54.320-05:002013-06-29T12:24:54.320-05:00Ruth..
