Still tons of snow on the front ranges west of Calgary!

Quick edit showing some of the intense moments today while documenting 8 tornadoes in northern Illinois into Indiana. Massive shoutout to @skydrama for nailing the forecast in the warm sector. Hands down the craziest tornado outbreak I've ever documented.
Full video will be released in the near future on the @thestormreel YouTube page.

BREAKING: A preliminary report from Environment Canada, likely in conjunction with the NTP, has determined a rating of EF-3 for the tornado that struck near Oxbow/Alameda, Saskatchewan yesterday evening. This is the strongest tornado in Saskatchewan since July 2nd, 2010. #skstorm

Incredible loop of a generational thunderstorm day in Winnipeg.
Had that line that delivered over 250mm of rain to Stonewall set up directly over the city, it could have been catastrophic. #mbstorm

Oh man…horrific tornado damage from the tornado earlier near Almeda, Saskatchewan. This farmstead was destroyed and it appears the farmhouse was left with very few interior walls standing. Very significant-intense damage… #skstorm

Danny Brock is a Saskatchewan farmer who just got sucked from his bathroom into a tornado and had his farm wiped out near Alameda, Sask.
Everyone is alive, animals uncertain, no buildings left.
More on this, and the aftermath on tomorrow's Rebel Livestream.

Impactful thunderstorm event continues in Winnipeg.
Just hours of slow-moving thunderstorms with torrential rain and tornado potential #mbstorm

Biggest tornado watch I have seen in a long time...
From southern Nebraska to Central Manitoba!

Another reason surface-based convection continues to struggle west of the RRV...
The 700mb thermal ridge axis continues to be firmly entrenched over southwestern Manitoba, while a more breakable cap exists farther east.
LCL heights also peaking with daytime heating #mbstorm

Early tornadic development in the storm south of Winnipeg shows how volatile the local environment is today.
Unlike farther west (at least for the time being), LCL heights are locally lower in the RRV.
Higher LCLs to the west today may again limit tornado potential. #mbstorm

A handy rule of thumb for estimating LCL (lifting condensation level - or the approximate cloud base height):
(Temperature minus dewpoint temperature) times 125 = LCL height in metres
Significant tornadoes are uncommon when LCL height is above 1200m, or when the difference between the temperature and dewpoint is 10°C or greater.

Sure would be nice to be able to sample the real atmosphere ahead of today's severe weather potential in the eastern Prairies.
A lack of upstream weather balloon observations will mean degraded and inconsistent weather model output...

It’s devastating the amount of rain we got near Churchbridge over the past couple of days. Fields are completely gone, there is enormous amounts of sitting water, and roads are washed out. This is one of the craziest years I’ve seen yet.
