Alberta Foothills Weather

Summer begins for real.
The heat finally arrived today, with 30C showing up at many if not most stations in Alberta, a number of records broken, and clear skies for hundreds of miles in all directions. Sat in the cool basement most of the afternoon wishing for something to fire up along the foothills, to no avail. Too warm upstairs today and nothing around to trigger anything more than a few tiny little cumulus that were quickly wiped away.
That appears to change tomorrow afternoon as the upper levels cool to half of what they were today and much better moisture arrives at all levels. With a forecast high of 30C again and humidity over 50% , tomorrow looks to me like it could be an explosive day if everything comes together.
Or not. In this afternoon’s forecast, the folks at Environment Canada mentioned a chance of thunderstorms for tomorrow afternoon, then a few hours later changed to sunny with a few clouds in the eve.
Guess we’ll have to see what the PASPC has to say in the morning, but it does sound like a nice day to set up a lawnchair in the foothills and watch some towers go up.
Tuesday sounds thundery too, but I hope it can hold off until later on in the aft so we can enjoy the Dickson Mud Bogs without getting zotted or hailed on.

Not much for photos this week, a gusty little front moved thru on the 26th that had some interesting shapes, a duck lifting off about 1/320 of a sec before the dog hit the water a foot away this afternoon, and a sunset from tonight. If we get skunked tomorrow, at least we should be able to grab some bog shots Tuesday.
