Slight Chance Of Severe Thunderstorms Tonight (New Map)

Posted by Unknown at 4:12 PM Monday, May 13, 2013 Labels: CPSmap, forecast 0 comments

Minimal at best but there does appear to be a slight risk of severe weather in south west parts of the Canadian Prairies tonight. Severe thunderstorm watches are now active further south in Montana and Idaho and this system is expected to make its way into Canada over night. Wind warnings are up for Cypress Hills areas with expected 100km/hr wind gusts possible tonight and into Tuesday morning. Heavy rains are possible as storms track across southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Most of southern Saskatchewan are enjoying high temperatures of 29 to 30 Celsius from Moose Jaw to Regina, Weyburn and Estevan.

If anything, its a good chance to dust off the map for the first time in 2013!

Click the photo above to see the map and all 63 geo-tagged photos from around the Regina Wascana flood zone. Below are some of the most significant shots of the day. Due to the early opening of the flood gates, areas downstream are much higher now compared to the lake relative to 2011 flood levels.

Video will be processed overnight and another trip around the lake before sundown will give a good indication of how fast things are developing with temperatures now over 20C.
