Need more heat and a few more dynamics. Remember good ol GFS, we were commenting a few days ago how this weekend had a nasty little system coming in?? HELLO GFS now its suppose to be 14 degrees!! I'm losing faith in GFS, or maybe we just don't repect Mother Nature enough?? Quiet evening here in Airdrie just some virga. Tonight we are heading out for Waterton for a couple of days.... never a dull moment there...ever. Take care, back Saturday night. Hey Pat

Convection starting to form off the foothills!!! Everything is looking good right now, it will be at peak by 6:00 PM. I hope I see some activity, as Edmonton is in -2 to -3 lift index. Heres a photo of the towers up north of me. http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/6673/dsc00097ci8.jpg Theres towers around here too! Convection starting to form off the foothills!!!

I can see some towering cumulus, in fact, I even saw some today in the early morning hours around 8:00 AM. Models show -3 lift around Edmonton and west, and Cape values are in the 600's around Edmonton here. I find it really weird how EC or TWN say no chance of even showers for today...I'll have my camera ready for anything exciting! Well it’s the first day of spring and its beautiful!

I don't believe any models or forecasts today or tomorrow :) Hoping something will peel off the foothills later this aft. WRF has bailed out on the precip for 0z around here and our upslope winds may not pan out either. Water vapor loop showing some moisture inbound so we shall see. Not hard to see why mets pull their hair out trying to figure out what's going to happen in western Alberta. What a nice morning out there for the first day of spring!

I'll be keeping an eye out WNW of me tomorrow! I hope some storms can move in or close to Edmonton, that way I can get some good pictures!
