August 2020 General Discussion
Torchageddon replied to SchaumburgStormer's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Counties nearby were put under a tornado warning this afternoon with a large area under a tornado watch later. When those warnings went out I saw no rotation or a couplet as claimed. I was put under a severe thunderstorm watch and a TOR watch with the storms 100 miles to my east and dark, wet, overcast conditions IMBY. On TWN they had numerous technical difficulties to put it lightly. Instead of cutting to Mark R out tracking the rainshowers wrapping around, they went to commercial. Then once the 2nd batch of tornado warnings came out just at the most critical moment for the channel it cut to a pre-recorded segment just as the paper was given to her to read out. There was a fixation on focusing on the radar timestamps with the cells. I love TWN. -
Severe storms were hyped for days here in ON for Weds but as far as I know nothing happened in SON at all, even EC didn't nibble and send any warnings or watches out (they issue severe thunderstorm warnings for heavy rain showers that have already passed through).
-
Grocery stores here aren't enforcing the mask mandates, some employees aren't wearing anything and no one is cleaning carts now.

What would happen if he had pumped his gas first and then went in to pay? This hypothetical also assumes no CC terminal attached outside to each pump.

I just got an alert on my phone of a tornado warning for my region, I just see some weak rotation south of Clifford that is now gone. Its linear "crapped-the-bed" squall line that moved through so I dunno? There were 3 separate tornado warnings including near London and Mitchell (tornado capital of Ontario). Very dark morning with increasing rumbles of thunder. Imagine if every mid-day in the summer was like this.
-
That should be something I do one day, experience 100F in the middle of the night. A good trip I'd say! It was mainly cloudy for the 3rd straight day today, awful.

Spring/Summer 2020 Banter/Complaint Thread
Torchageddon replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
That's actually what I was hoping for yesterday minus the cloudiness -
I couldn't find the diner with waist-deep brown water flowing past him video, any link or what keywords to search for? That would be two insane wx videos in 24 hours. BTW, did you find out what date that severe thunderstorm you were mentioning about from 2003? The instability is extremely high here today where convection just exploded all over southern ON around 12:20 pm. I wasn't expecting rain til 2 or so and it poured at 1:30 pm instead. Still raining lightly but should intensify. Its too bad the day is ruined with clouds and rain now. Strong thunderstorms? lol.
-
I'll make it my new screensaver.

This might be the best drill-bit I've seen, and at a close range! Was this TOR warned? Like too many others, the footage inexplicably cuts off when its clearly still in progress, my God...
-
My AC just stopped working overnight and today is forecast to be the hottest day of the year yet . I'm already at 30C (86F) feeling like 39C and my high was increased to 34C! A lot of clouds.
-
This is shaping up to be a memorable heatwave here locally, yesterday was my warmest year to date at 33ºC (92ºF), so far I'm at 32ºC currently. My forecast point on Thursday is 35ºC (96ºF) which would be the warmest temperature in a few years. The longevity of this heatwave is certainly the most impressive part, even a CF is doing squat. Just like summer 2016.
-
Its located in St. Anthony's, Newfoundland currently. 8ºC high with a wind chill of 5C. Windsor ON 14 day trend (not reliable of course) shows no day dipping below 30ºC.
-
I'm sad to see this June go, it was a top 5 June I've experienced. It would've been a perfect June aside from the lack of storms and it being a bit too chilly during a few of the days early in the month. I reached 30ºC again today.
-
I got way more rain than was forecast, surprising. It was a downpour for nearly 5 hours and similar to the sunny weather we had reminded me of August 11 2012. I heard one rumble and that was it, "strong thunderstorms" were forecast and I'm not even getting garden variety. The PMX engine for TWN thinks a 40 dbz echo on CAM = strong thunderstorm .
-
I just checked as I saw some darker clouds building nearby, ending the blue sky streak. Some of these almost stationary cells are moving nearly due west somehow, crazy. I'm under a severe thunderstorm watch for no reason and in the text they warn of possible landspout funnel clouds, never seen that before. Also for isolated large hail to quarters, I'm going to guess I'm not going to get it this afternoon but near London/K-W/Newmarket maybe?
-
I don't know the last time I had this much blue sky for this long, maybe not since 2012 but with no cells for today this streak may continue into early next week. After this Spring, having 8 days of non-stop shine near the start of summer is wild. Its like I'm back in southern AZ.
-
If my 7 day is to be believed, then potentally one of the best stretches in several years is underway! 6 days in a row of "not a cloud in the sky" weather with low humidity and comfortable temps. Can I take some of this and sprinkle it on January?
-
The squall line here in Midwestern ON was among the most lame I've ever been in. It was so pethetic that even I was in disbelief, however hours later there was a second wind which packed a bit more punch but whatever. Just to nail home just how tame it was, I heard only ONE distant thunder during the passage!! Just some breezy heavy rains. I'm glad I didn't go out to chase this near the shoreline. Mark did and he doesn't know why it fell apart as it entered the more favorable parameter space but I've seen it nearly every time so its not a shock but the extent of the collapse was. It almost looked like K-W wasn't going to see anything at all but the 2nd round gave them some. Once again the warm front brought the goods and the cold front failed. There were some large limbs though down in the locale, I didn't see any high winds that could do that? The second cluster that came up from MI that produced the real storm down south also delivered two tornadoes or so.
-
I just got my first thunderstorm of the year this morning, it was decent with tropical rains but not severe. I don't like the look the HRRR is giving for MBY, looks like I'm going to get whiffed this evening followed by the typical hours of moderate rain that follow. I was waiting for some descrete cells ahead of the outflow but then the CAMs backed off that...
-
I notice during the hot day tomorrow with it being 30C feeling like 40 (humidex) the winds will be 40 km/h gusting to 60 at once. That is unprecedented in my experience in my locale but there was one day last decade that was approching winds of that level with a slightly higher air temp. This is before the strong storms roll in. Will my stormless streak come to an end? 48 hours later it'll be 12C for a high feeling like 8...jacket weather! Its been a good June so far but a weird one, enough sunlight thankfully.
-
It sure isn't. Were they sleeping during the later part of May?

Spring/Summer 2020 Banter/Complaint Thread
Torchageddon replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
On pivotal weather why do I have to have my mouse cursor on the hr numbers rather than the loop bar to show each frame? I haven't been there in a bit and that change isn't good, moronic even. Now its hard to slide the mouse through the run which I prefer to just watching a loop. -
The boarderline severe cells in SON split the gap between my west and east!! I saw some amazing clouds just around 8. Once again we get nothing when not far off the shoreline and Toronto are getting a pretty good show, unreal. This was the best chance for southern Grey county like Hanover/Walkerton to get a severe thunderstorm in a very long time...
-
Perfect weather currently, about 22C feels like 24 with some thin clouds. I can't believe I fell for TWN's forecast of stormy throughout the day lol. I don't think we'll reach 28C as a high but it will be in the comfortable zone.
