Nice pics Pat. there isn't nearly the snowpack on the eastern slopes once you get south of High River. Clearly they missed that last one. Didn't get to Waterton because there was 60 vehicles in line so we went from Cardston to Pincher....I love that drive. I hope our storm predicters on site here are right, bring it on.

NavCanada suggesting CBs this aft to 38,000 feet around here? Feels cold out there at 20C after the past few days.

West,southwest of Red deer around Noon to 2 PM. After that around Lloydminster area for 4-6 PM . That's just what the NAM/WRF are saying. GFS says differently for late afternoon. Noon to 2 PM GFS says west southwest maybe south of Red Deer. 4-6 PM says same area but a bit more south towards Calgary. Personally I would stick with the GFS because driving out to Lloydminster isn't worth it, especially if it doesn't happen. Anyway, next tuesday looks great! 1500 Cape values just east of Edmonton, while we sit in the 1000-1100 range. Unfortunately this is too far out just like everything is, and all I can do is hope it verifies. I would say today’s hot spot for storms would be.. West,southwest of Red deer around Noon to 2 PM.

Will have to check the NAM and RUC later today and see if there are any hot spots!!! Might make a storm chasing trip today now that I have the day off from work.
