Earlier this evening (just before 5pm local time) east-southeast of Winnipeg. It had a decent couplet before it gusted out.#mbstorm

@StoryfulNews @NWSNorthPlatte @NWSHastings @NWSGoodland Sure, no problem with attribution to the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) meteorology program.

Possible landspout left side of time lapse. 8 miles north of McCook 910pm CDT. #newx @NWSNorthPlatte @NWSHastings @NWSGoodland

Still image, of the same (possible) landspout, taken at the same time. #newx

Rare Lake Champlain waterspout! This formed today off Willsboro Point, New York in the steam fog. Video by Sophie Clarke. @NWSBurlington

A frigid low of -35.3C in Winnipeg this morning.. coldest temperature of the season so far. It's our first -35C recorded in December since 2017. Last winter, Winnipeg didn't hit the -35C mark until Feb 8th. Stay warm! #MBwx

Had to share this especially after personally flying today and talking with United Captain in Chicago.

The jet stream at 250mb (34,000 feet) is absolutely ripping fast tonight. Pushing >205 knots (235+ MPH) in the Great Lakes.

Filtered on left are only planes traveling 700+MPH.

This is amazing!

Humid atmosphere conditions allow us to see how air passes over an aircraft. The trailing lines are known as wingtip vortices.

I don't usually post imagery of high pressure systems because they're typically less visual 👀 than storms... but this über #ridge aloft has been the product of an epic case of "anticyclonic Rossby wave breaking" 🤓 and is responsible for the historic heat 🌡️

[Jen Smith @jen_wx]

Unbelievable heat! For reference: 113°F is 45°C. 🥵

[NWS Phoenix @NWSPhoenix]

The high today in Phoenix reached 113°F. Would you believe us if we told you there was a location over 1,200 mile north of here that was hotter?

Lytton, B.C. broke the Canadian record high set in 1937 with a high of 46.6°C (116°F) today. Here are other warm spots. #azwx #cawx

[Thierry Goose @ThierryGooseBC]

🥵 Exceptional #heat today in southern #Manitoba 🇨🇦 with up to 41.3°C in Gretna, 40.6°C in Emerson & 40.4°C in Morden.
➡️ 1st 40°C in MB since 1989.
➡️ Highest temp. in MB since Aug. 1988 (41.5°C in Starbuck).
➡️ Possibly a new national record for the 1st decade of June.

#LaSoufrière #volcano erupted this morning on the island of St. Vincent in the #Caribbean #GOES16 captured the ash plume using the specially designed Ash RGB product #FLwx

[Roger Edwards @SkyPixWeather]

Uncommon light-wind March day dawned in SW #Iceland, in late March, after yesterday’s blizzard, has a nice micro-#meteorology lesson. Note inward-directed plumes all around the main cone, blowing toward the convective low-pressure area created by intense heat.

HAPPENING NOW: The TTC has closed the Royal York station's Grenview entrance due to a BEAVER.

Yes. A beaver.

TTC says they've notified the City of Toronto, Animal Services & Toronto Police. There is a supervisor currently watching the beaver.

Very bright sun dogs in #Winnipeg this morning! Also visible are hints of a sun pillar and parts of the 22 degree halo. #mbwx

Context, for the people in the back (and out east):

Manitoba's 474 new #COVID19 cases today is akin to 4,740 new cases in Ontario.

Stay home. Stay safe.
