Boogieman Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The bonus point for this being synoptic scale is that it is just really refreshing out now here, not sticky and gross . Yes, it feels a lot better now. It was sweat city before when the wife and I were working outside, moving wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Original moderate risk is cranking up now, multiple discrete cells organizing across E KY with 60-70 kts of effective shear in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Went under a surprise tornado warning today as a tornado was spotted northwest of here with storms that blew up well ahead of the activity in Michigan. The storm was nearly stationary just north of Waterloo, and a second nearly stationary line of storms was to my immediate south. Made for an awesome afternoon of rolling thunder CG show. Saw that looked like a pin needle funnel last 3 minutes before the tornado warning was issued. Aside from pea size hail and some heavy rain, nothing else has been reported in the area. Six Environment Canada warning regions were placed under tornado warnings which resulted in the map looking like this...(locations in the path of the two tornadoes were never specified in the warnings) As you can imagine, this creates a lot of confusion, but nothing is ever done about it. Also note EC kept us under a severe thunderstorm warning in Waterloo Region for 3 hours and 6 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 lol EC It was a perplexing situation. My tornado warned storm extended about 30km from where the tornado was reported to here. NWS radar is crap out this way, and EC radar is junk even on radarscope. EC didn't specify any info other than a tornado was reported near Millbank, so I was at a loss as to what was going on. News was on the 6pm locals, but they all they did was briefly recite the warning text. There was no information being passed around. Just another day in Ontario. Luckily nothing happened out this way, but I kept an eagle eye on the sky for sure. For reference: TORNADO WARNINGFOR SOUTHERN ONTARIO ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 6:40 P.M.

andyhb Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 There was no information being passed around. Just another day in Ontario. Luckily nothing happened out this way, but I kept an eagle eye on the sky for sure. Something will happen eventually, it's only a matter of time. The 2009 event was a drop in the bucket compared to what could happen should a violent tornado (ala Barrie 1985) go through a city in S ON with poor warning like that.
