  1. I'm under a tornado watch, and only Grey and Bruce counties are under one which may be a first. The sun is full, but I hear a rumble or two in the distance. Those cells looked sheared and highly unusual for my boring locale. I have a weird vibe, like Aug 20 vibes .
  2. What happened to the thread in the New England sub? I saw off-topic banter non=stop which I assume has something to do with it being missing. What I remember the most from that thread was this line, "Kids in September need to be back in a physical classroom learning environment, PERIOD!"
  3. Did you cook up the more expensive frozen food before it spoiled? BBQ?
  4. Just like with everything else that is changed, it then transforms into poo. I can't think of the last time a weather product page was changed and it was actually better than before. Remember Intellicast? Oh wait, its gone too. Tryin' not to be a downer, but as August started my hopes for going Greek were dashed. There will be a lot of magical bummers yet to come.
  5. As soon as I saw that 240 hr frame I felt like I wanted to punch my screen. We better not see that **** on the next run. Manitoba tornadoes have been Canada's most fearsome and incredible for 9 years now, and Canada's most photogenic tornado of 2020 occurred yesterday ejecting two 18-year olds out of their car and killing them. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/news/article/powerful-storms-spawn-large-tornado-in-southern-manitoba-scarth-virden Tons of different shots of the beast. I think the casualties are the youngest since the Aug 20 2009 Durham ON tornado.
  6. 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.
  7. 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).
  8. Grocery stores here aren't enforcing the mask mandates, some employees aren't wearing anything and no one is cleaning carts now.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. That's actually what I was hoping for yesterday minus the cloudiness
  12. 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.
  13. 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...
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. No mention that this was the 3rd year in a row to first reach 20C in May: http://www.civil.uwaterloo.ca/weather/2020contest/contest.html "And a question, should we allow people to choose dates in June next year?" I forgot it was May 13 not 14 for the previous record longest. I do remember it being 1919 however. Interesting that it was right in the middle of the afternoon as May years tend to be very early in the day like 10 am.
  17. I notice after a huge severe weather event or something insane tornado wise there is often no post mortem and things carry on as if nothing happened. If a large severe weather day ended up doing absolutely nothing at all no one will post about how and why it failed but rather there simply won't be any posts and no analysis.
  18. Aside from the cliche, it wouldn't be 185 mph by the time it got to Florida because its forward speed would slow enough to weaken him due to upwelling. Probably would be a category 3 similar to Hurricane Frances' weakening.
  19. I've been checking this daily, I'm not sure if I buy into it being anything to consider when it comes to Plains activity. The red contours the other Friday were super impressive looking on the mouseover square for then but nothing happened in that spot. That was 1-5 days before. Its experimental (the dashboard) and I'm trying to find a pattern.
  20. I'm getting the opposite of hopefulness from looking at ERTAF: "A continued northward shift in the NPJ leads us to believe the peak of annual US tornado frequency in the Great Plains (weeks 2 and 3) will be gravely below average."
  21. You missed the most wretched year (May tornadoes) of all: 2017. Last year was truly appalling from an interest standpoint. All those High Risks and nothing memorable - this is my opinion alone but when I think 2017 for tornadoes the only tornado that comes to mind is the Canton TX one. With the 80s being what they were, what large scale configuration led to it? I think the quality severe was probably up north in the GLs because all sorts of stories originate from the mid-late 80s in ON.
  22. I really don't want to hear any hints of death ridge when it comes to the Plains in late May (Only over the GL ). I really need to take the advice of cutting back how much I look at long range data, certainly not good to drive myself crazy. I'm going to look back to see what the mood was like at this time for May 2013 and 2016.
  23. To clarify, what time frame(s) for the deterministic NWP? Just the next 10 days or is that further long range? Mostly interested in the last 10 days of this month.
  24. Did the 00z euro just trash that goodness it showed 2 runs ago?
