Torchageddon Posted Saturday at 11:05 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:05 AM The storms were 4 hours early as a beefcake MCS is plowing through. Its been a long time since I've had a 'awn storm. You couldn't see the darkness coming til it was right on top nearly. Curious if the smoke caused that. Fr. lightning with constant thunder, going to be shy of an inch after its not moving fast and I see some backbuilding. Now I've blown way past 1" I'm around 38mm so maybe 50 by the time its done! More convection building to my west, WUN was wildly off but I don't know about TWN. There is no watch nor warning - funny since this is nearly the best storm I've had of 2026 and for literally nothing I often get warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted Saturday at 01:36 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:36 PM Blew past even 50mm from the 3rd round, even more lightning nearly at 1K strikes now!! 50 in 3 hr is extreme in my climo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted Saturday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:34 PM I haven't yet seen anything concrete but that was the most well defined hook echo I've seen in the GTA. The QLCS has a few cells with spacing but its a tad crowded. The og sup is nearing Niagara on the Lake but may slip past. Kettle Point ON has a tight cell that is sus.

cyclone77 Posted Saturday at 07:47 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:47 PM This morning's leftover cloud field from the decaying early morning precip co ck blocked our storm potential here. New stuff firing just south. Guess we'll try again Monday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Looks like warm temps the next couple days around 90. We'll see. Point cast is not really that reliable. It was to be 85 yesterday, and only made it to the upper 70's. Smoke has been light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
