🍁🌩️🌎🌊 Person from Ottawa sharing things I find about the air, land and sea.

Big milestone met for Environment Canada today as it launches its long-awaited storm-based thunderstorm and tornado warning system. It's mostly going to affect warnings received via cell phone, but it should substantially reduce the number of warnings for people not in the direct path of the storm.

Courtesy of The Weather Network. The orange polygons are for a severe thunderstorm warning while the red polygons are for a tornado warning. A hypothetical tornadic supercell thunderstorm is superimposed, with tornado near the 'hook' area on the lower left side.

As the showers taper off in EONT-look's like the rain made a dent of the near ground smoke (pale yellow blobs) still there-not as intense, along with the smoke aloft (brown blobs)-wind will change direction overnight to push the rest out by SUN Aft. #onwx #onstorm

Full day of intense weather for the Ottawa area. Smoky morning, extremely hot afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Satellite view this morning showing wildfire smoke over the Ottawa valley. Stay cool and stay up to date on watches/warnings. ☀️🌩️ #onwx #onstorm

Unverified photo from southern Manitoba from before 4:17 pm CDT. "From Grunthal looking towards St Pierre". Looks like it could be a legit tornado. I'm hearing there may be video as well. Suggests that any supercells in the Winnipeg / Steinbach area are capable of generating tornadoes. #MBstorm
