@jerneault @FisherRiver1875 You might want to save a few samples of your goliath sized hail. A new Canadian record for hail might be established in Manitoba today????

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@tempesthunterph Canada Border Services Agency(CBSA) is prohibiting entry of this storm into southern Manitoba because of previous non-compliance issues with restricted and prohibited goods.....lol.🤔 ⛈

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@StormhunterTWN That favorable south or southeastern wind is a prerequisite for tornado-genesis to occur. Tornadic potential will significantly diminish, but prolific hailers will dominate!!!!!

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@StormhunterTWN Yes, that huge outflow boundary to the east of the main body of convective activity just southwest of Winnipeg will adversely disrupt the low-level windshear profile.

@LostInSk It looks like a classic LP Supercell with a 'bare bones' mesocyclone. The tornadic Supercell storms looked very compact from GOES NOAA interactive satellite imagery July 5th, 2022, 5pm-7pm.🌪 However, there was absolutely no shortage of midlevel rotation from the 850mb LLJ winds!

@robvanstone This seems to be a reoccurring theme, Rob. You are too high a profile individual to make yourself so accessible while walking your dog around Wascana Park. You need to seriously find an alternate location to excise your dog and yourself. It's sad but true for being a celebrity!🦮

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@Skstormchaser She's fizzling out pretty fast! It had phenomenal midlevel rotation for a while! Strangely enough, the low level windshear profile didn't seem to be conducive for tornadogenesis this evening? EHI values were probably just a little too weak to get the job done, as well?🤔🌪

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@gunjansinha2017 I usually only storm chase if the severe Wx parameters are screeming the possibility of tornadoes. I've been doing this crazy hobby for over 40 years now, way before I was old enough to procure a valid driver's license..lol. I've actually met Roger Jensen, the first storm chaser!

@gunjansinha2017 My best Saskatchewan chase occured in my own backyard on July 1st, 2005. I intercepted a supercell that also engaged in cyclical tornadogenesis just north of my White City acreage. It was a two hour tornadofest! Not a single tornado was ever documented by Environment Canada?🤔🌪

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@gunjansinha2017 The GFS computer models are not hinting at any severe Wx till maybe the end of June.The apex of our tornado season in SASK is the last week of June and the first week of July. If any storms develop during this time frame, chase them whether the thermodynamics exist or not...lol.

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@gunjansinha2017 I was watching this system on the computer models for the past week. It definitely exceeded my wildest expectations....lol. It looks like we're going to be dominated by a high pressure ridge for the next little while. It'll shut off the tap for severe Wx!😥🌪⛈

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@gunjansinha2017 It was the most unstable station(MUST) with a Temp of 36.1°C and Td of 19°C. Kudos to you for venturing out today, Gunjan. I had too many other matters to attend to this afternoon and consequently couldn't find the window of opportunity to chase.

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@WolfVanHalen Deepest heartfelt condolences to you Wolf! I rarely shed a tear for anyone passing away, but the death of your amazing father was an impetus to do so. His life & his exceptional level of musicianship touched millions of lives, including my own.There are many heavy hearts tonight!

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@gunjansinha2017 That storm is pretty much the only game in town Gunjan! That poor storm is struggling to tap into that abundant level moisture! Hopefully the capping inversion doesn't circumvent this from happening! I sincerely hope you see a nice tube! 🌪

[Lenard Vatamaniuk @Stormapocalypse]

@SeanSchofer @RadarOmega_WX @PrairieChasers Thanks for sharing Sean! It's just enough moisture to cool off all those snakes at the Fort Livingstone hibernaculum...Lol.🐍
