Elevated convection right now down in central Minnesota associated with LLJ moving east - and showers associated with midlevel forcing from parent trough over SW Manitoba and southern RRV. Models struggling with phasing of energy as main upper trough and surface low consolidates overnight and track over SE Manitoba during the day tomorrow.<br /><br />Models show modest linkage between the LLJ/low level moisture transport and the main trough overnight. A weak southeasterly LLJ forms, and that will be the main threat for elevated convection overnight, otherwise steadier rain should be focused to our NW. Models also disagree on the track of tomorrow's low, with NAM tracking the low nearly over Winnipeg (and giving us low twenties for afternoon temperatures). GFS is further east. Band of steadier rain and cold temperatures (mid to high single digits) slumps SE during the later afternoon hours..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-35782170311827197032014-09-03T12:10:05.961-05:002014-09-03T12:10:05.961-05:00Nice bonus day of sunshine today with highs in the...Nice bonus day of sunshine today with highs in the low 20s and light winds.

I think we're just having a prolonged storm season due to the abundant surface moisture still present, along with a favourable jet stream bringing systems in every few days. It's still warm enough for some decent instability to trigger these late season storms. As for tonight into tomorrow, we have another storm system tracking through the Dakotas spawning showers and thunderstorms, possibly severe near and south of the US border. Area of convection will morph into a swath of heavier rain north of the border as moisture streams north and spreads along deformation axis over southern Prairies. Latest model guidance showing swath of heaviest rain setting up from SE SK and SW MB into the Interlake where 25-50 mm is possible by tomorrow afternoon . Lesser amounts over RRV but local downpours likely with thunderstorms. I will try to post an update today on this system. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-24607870277757500432014-09-02T16:00:51.688-05:002014-09-02T16:00:51.688-05:00Rob, what's the culprit behind this rather sup...Rob, what's the culprit behind this rather suprisingly stormy start to September and what's the latest on the next big system for tomorrow night and Thursday?<br /><br />Thanks, AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-24290362175635460232014-09-02T15:51:54.122-05:002014-09-02T15:51:54.122-05:00Crossing my fingers, but I think I solved the issu...Crossing my fingers, but I think I solved the issue with my weather station not updating. Had to delete a corrupted file.. but I think we're back in business again, just as this line of thunderstorms rolls though. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to fix my wind direction sensor.. It moves, but display is stuck at a NW direction (320) Cable is likely frayed somewhere, but I haven't been able to find out where. As a result, my weather station will always be displaying a NW wind for the foreseeable future. Wind speed however is updating correctly. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-61647503298569676112014-09-01T17:04:48.771-05:002014-09-01T17:04:48.771-05:00Complex scenario unfolding for the next few days. ...Complex scenario unfolding for the next few days. Upper flow will turn increasingly SW in response to a digging upper trough over BC. Lead shortwave ejects out and taps plains LLJ as early as Tuesday overnight with main focus to our southeast. At the surface, warm front starts taking shape and lifts to around international border during the day Wednesday. <br /><br />Main upper trough then starts moving east and surface low starts closing off. LLJ retrogrades back to the west setting the stage for two main areas of precipitation by Wednesday evening.. 1) on the nose of the main axis of lower level moisture transport and 2) in the deformation zone of the upper trough with midlevel frontogenesis and trowal wrapping around the parent circulation. <br /><br />NAM right now suggests Winnipeg will stay mainly in the dry slot of the system with low precipitation totals. However, if LLJ can phase better/sooner with the approaching trough, we would be in line for very strong moisture advection of PWATS over 50 mm (higher than with the past systems).
