Heat bursts usually result in more dramatic temperature increases (like 5-10C or more) in a shorter time frame (often a few minutes), stronger wind gusts (90 km/h or more) and a notable drop in the dew point as the descending air dries (like a chinook wind) <br /><br />Last night, there was some gusty winds as the thunderstorms approached which may have mixed down some warmer air aloft. But the dew point also rose which indicates there wasn't the rapid drying associated with a descending downburst which is more characteristic of a heat burst..robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-69490658542489740522010-05-25T07:33:44.029-05:002010-05-25T07:33:44.029-05:00Hey Rob!!

Let me explain. .Unlike the amateurs Justin n Dave are upset with I would prefer to be at home for these events if I had to choose. While traveling away from MB on family Holidaying or golfing trips I have heard those<i> freight train coming sirens</i> 6 times while south of the border and seen the F*nl‘s twice as many times while returning home from MN. And ND<br /><br />After spending too many occasions in the basements of MB, ND and MN Hotels, Golf club houses, Cottages and once a travel trailer , (Minneapolis weekend from hell -3 days of Tornados) I decided they find me. I needed a Heads up Display. <br /><br />As they say OBS Blog R it <br /><br />This is the second event of 4 possible that I’ve chosen not to holiday/weekend trip south and avoided the event. I misread the Petersfield (Gull Lake) warning and turned south and met it at the golf course after seeing the funnels west of Wpg Beach . Hearings not so good since then And well Minot, Estevan. To Redvers to Wpg in the intermittent dark was not a fun all-nighter a couple of years ago. Trying to cross the border after 9pm. and get home.dry and alive as they say. one out of 2 isn’t bad but eyesight is..<br /><br />So Jewels IMO this is the best source of local xt weather travel info I know. Well done ROB.<br /><br />PS Justin, recently those south central SD GPS, and Road Maps had imaginary roads and bridges on them instead of dead ends. Those amateurs would not be the first to find out the hard way. Luckily for them, not the rancher, what they drove over was someones newly planted crop and not a cliff.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903818436067284685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-25105489563840242182010-05-24T17:59:43.463-05:002010-05-24T17:59:43.463-05:00Hey everyone!
