Although as methusala mentioned beausejour has seen some big storms over the years, and still can today. I never saw any yesterday which is ironic as it was always saturdays when the big ones hit. <br /><br />I'm also very much looking forward to seeing our possible hottest day of the summer. 38C would be amazing, although I would like for it to be humid. Rob is it possible we could break a record on monday or tuesday?Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-85262304607428305442011-08-21T11:48:38.545-05:002011-08-21T11:48:38.545-05:00Wow, thanks for the doppler source Rob.

It's getting more difficult to get those mid 20 dewpoints (thank goodness!) now that summer is nearing an end and crops are maturing and being harvested. Plus, we've been so dry here which has also kept our dewpoints lower in the northern RRV. <br /><br />Interestingly NAM shows Winnipeg's dewpoint dropping into the single digits Tuesday afternoon while we soar to 38C (100F) as we get into a westerly flow. 850 mb temps are progged to rise to 25C Tuesday afternoon, so with a favourable west to SW downslope flow for Winnipeg, 38C may not be out of the question. Tuesday could be the hottest day of the summer!robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-15944591429776565162011-08-21T09:56:08.041-05:002011-08-21T09:56:08.041-05:00Anonymous..

Just because many people wouldn't use it doesn't mean everyone should be denied access to it, IMHO. Plus, what better way to educate people about Doppler products than seeing them in real time over and over. <br /><br />In the meantime, you can get Canadian Doppler radar imagery from Weather Underground (go figure, you have to go to an American source to access better Canadian radar data) Just type in the local city name and click on the radar which should be closest default radar. I'm not crazy about WU's background, but at least you can get some higher resolution radar data for Canadian localities within Doppler range (in Canada, only about 120 km from the radar site)robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-9109659058233661452011-08-21T09:11:37.922-05:002011-08-21T09:11:37.922-05:00Rob!

In fact they were coincidentally on Saturday nights in August. Won't say how long ago but they were still parking diagonally and you could boost many cars with a crank....<br />Movie nite as it was called brought us in from two popular campgrounds 2 miles away. We were dropped off and picked up after. Many saturday nights we went back to a cacophony of TSs. One night we were picked up late. Trees as big as 1.5 feet in diameter had to be hauled off the road (adjacent to the river) to travel home. <br />None of us had heard anything in the theater but we were awstuck at the damage the next day.Methusalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-78713729806939154782011-08-20T19:42:56.135-05:002011-08-20T19:42:56.135-05:00Yes!

The size of the circle correlates to the strength of the velocity couplet.. the larger the circle, the stronger the rotation detected.

Instability for severe storms will be lacking, however if we can get t/td's of 21/13 by noon it may yield 500 to 750 J/kg CAPE. With a lite NW flow we may see some relatively slow-moving lake breeze convergence cells coming down. Only catch is timing of wave.. it looks to move out by early to mid-afternoon.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949425441824069047noreply@blogger.com
