October 2026 General Discussion
Torchageddon replied to SchaumburgStormer's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
But doesn't apply to those in SON, there is a fire sale of them . Getting the first real frost of the season, 1C/33F incoming . -
I ended the month at about 15mm/.65". TWN did write up about the dry streak mainly on YYZ. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/ontarios-weeks-long-dry-streak-continues-but-tropical-moisture-lurks
-
This will be one of the driest Septs I've lived through, I'm at 14mm/.5" for the month with nothing forecast til Oct 1. Parts of lawns are tanning. This mostly clear stretch has been epic, Since last Mon and forecast delayed any rain til the 1st so 9 days or more of great wx!
-
When I quickly first read this the 'roast' word was absent! I just did my own a few days ago with ginger seasoning this time.
-
While south and west of me has been very wet, I'm now in the midst of a incredibly dry period for this time of year with no precip for a solid week at least. A 1039mb high is analyzed over QC (Quebec) currently which is nuts, just a monster ridge giving us the blue skies. A preview a things to come up there in Hudson/Northern ON/QC. It was getting far too cloudy last week so this is relief but its getting chilly.
-
Not for me. 9 months of grey skies and cool to cold weather here where I have to wear slippers inside during those 9 - this is still fresh as a daisy.
-
Tor warning too. They likely issued it for the dangerous winds as I doubt there is notable rotation or any form for concern from the MCS. Now its caught up with another mcs moving slow over Baden. The blowoff from that immense MCS is causing a blob of light to mod rain that will reach me shortly as its darkening. This explosive convection is gnarly.
-
This is a 'red' warning for extreme stuff. That MCS is hauling, to give an idea how fast it was, it was near Bay City MI at 3pm now its near London ON just 2hr later!! I wish I was near Grand Bend to see that baddie come ashore, I'm sure the pics will be flowing shortly from there. I'm liking the EC radar now with its layers and detail, but its first wem (blemish) came to light just now when I had the radar and details loaded, but then the layer vanished and just gave me a message stating 'The radar layers are currently unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please try again later.' - Well I had them til you took them away; its stored in my RAM genius!
-
Huge meatball over Vaughan currently giving them likely large hail, some memories of Aug 20 too for some. The sups (if they are that mature yet) don't have the bean shape yet. I'm getting a few sunny breaks. More cells formed to my south but are petering out or will be the ignition for the further south stuff to erupt. There are values of SBCAPE of 5000 south of London! I think I'm around 2.5K, 1 STP, and 2 VTP lol.
-
Very high gusts in this watch. The latest cells formed just to my east so dodged the 3rd round at noon which WUN picked up on. A cell near Flesherton that is elongating is exploding with a likely hail core and major lightning in less than 15 mins! These cells are already intense!
-
Cells popped and raced to the east just north of me 90 mins ago, then some minor sun breaks but mostly grey. I blink and there are some more dark skies to my north. The atmo is wild today, TWN also had another first by putting out a hatched graphic showing just south of me greatest area for tornadoes. I would say it'd be a good day for a 'chase' but the storm motions will be hard to wrangle with.
-
Storm cells nearby racing at uncommon speeds this nox (overnight). Nice MCS hitting Barrie coming in from the SE. I'm at least 50 min drive from the nearest current cell and I can see tepid lightning already no thunder. This setup I can already tell is juiced as hell; 23C/22C DP that is seriously impressive for nox on Sept 2! EC put us under a svr watch for hail up to golf balls and 90 km/h winds. I've had basically zip for real storms all summer. They danced around me only giving thunder and heavy downpours. Its fun seeing how my main summer months now for years are absent of anything - its all in the shoulder months like March, April, and late summer like now.
-
I was surprised how hot I was out there even briefly walking, a blister. I suppose my body isn't used to it again as I haven't needed the AC for nearly 3 weeks! TWN hitting hard on the severe threat here in SON tomorrow, the most sig of the summer by far (of course, its now Sept). For the first I've seen they even put out a updraft helicity map from an unknown output: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/damaging-winds-severe-storms-to-hit-southern-ontario-midweek
-
Some garden storms were heading my way a few hrs ago then fizzled as they neared. Yep, mid summer is the time for nada. This current pattern is flip flopping from 24C to 27C every 48.

Dolphin seems to like that Naha island as its attracted to it moving SSW not just scraping it, but radar shows landfall as it ruffles them down their spine. The eyewall looks to be intensifying as its doing this! This is a situ I don't think anyone ever expected, an unique & tilted landfall. For rarity this may be up there with Dorian's extreme pinhole hitting the Bahamas. Latest frames may have it doing a tricodical wobble and/or stall now. For the past 50 mins since 5z its been grinding on the same spot with the potent eyewall -- who is under that? I think its sub 930mb personally, the organization is markably better than when that obs was taken on that tiny island. Can't believe its still listed at 955mb . I think the obs from Naha will be telling a very different story.
