Whoa

I don’t think I’ve seen the sky over Ottawa being quite this impressive in a long time…

Incoming!

I just checked the Franktown radar and saw this:

XFT radar - 20130717 1340L

The storm by Pembroke is moving roughly SSW and in 20 minutes moved about 40km.

Could be an interesting afternoon, weatherwise

It looks like this afternoon could be exciting with possibilities of thunderstorms and hail appearing in the forecast this afternoon and Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm watch at 10:55. Now, they’re only listed as 40% probabilities so it’s not certain that they’ll arrive but all the conditions look favourable: extreme heat and humdity. If they do arrive hopefully they’ll knock some of the humidity out of the air.
