June 9
Nice day for watching cumulus eruptus today.
A low pushing in through southern BC lit up the cauliflower towers early this morning all the way from Lethbridge to about here, then off towards Rocky Mountain House. Almost everything worth looking at in Alberta today was within view. I didn’t see anything go over 30,000 feet, but a few cells did manage to produce some interesting features though the day. Lots of little dangly bits everywhere but no funnels that I could see. There was one interesting lowering south of Sylvan Lake around 6pm that got me out for a look, then a nice roll cloud around 8pm that I arrived about 5 minutes late for. Didn’t see any lightning all day which was somewhat surprising, we had a few good downpours adding up to about 17mm, bringing us close to 50mm since Friday.
More of that on the way for the next few days… it’s going to be real soggy around here and our road already looks like a mud bog track.
NICE PICS! It rained steady from 3pm on Tuesday until 5am Wednesday bringing the total after two dys to 45mm. Looks like the majority of the rain will stay to the southeast most of the day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get some ebhanced showers this aftenoon especially if the sun
