Storm risk returns to the Prairies as fresh instability arrives Sunday
We're closing out the weekend with a renewed threat for strong to severe thunderstorms across the southern Prairies. While much of the region deals with thick smoke from ongoing wildfires, another wedge of instability will foster fresh storm activity from British Columbia's Interior through southern Saskatchewan. Looking beyond Sunday's storm risk, some areas could see a remarkable drop in temperatures for the start of the new workweek. Keep an eye on the radar and listen for severe weather alerts in your area as you go about your day. [don't miss link] Sunday storm threat includes supercell risk Sunday morning will see a trough extending from the B.C. Interior through southern Saskatchewan, with modest instability fuelling a risk for non-severe storms for the first half of the day. Warm air spiralling around a low-pressure system will allow the atmosphere to destabilize across the southern Prairies by Sunday afternoon. The greatest risk for severe weather will cover southern Saskatchewan, including Regina. This is where ample humidity and the best dynamics may favour the development of supercell thunderstorms. Any storms in Saskatchewan able to reach severe limits will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts and large hail. We'll see a modest tornado risk across the region—a funnel cloud or even a brief tornado is possible, but it's not the primary threat with Sunday's storms. Looking ahead to an unseasonable chill Folks across central Alberta and the Rockies will experience a temperature dip through the day Sunday, but a stronger signal for well-below seasonal temperatures is on the horizon. The approaching pattern is likely to trigger a remarkable temperature drop Tuesday, with forecast daytime temperatures coming in 10-15 degrees below seasonal across central and southern Alberta. We could even see some heavy accumulating snowfall in the Rockies above 2200 metres, especially around Jasper. Header image submitted by Loreen in Saskatchewan.

Abundant storm energy brings flood and tornado risks Thursday
Thursday brings significant weather risks to eastern Ontario, southern Quebec and northern New Brunswick, as the recent high heat and humidity are providing ample storm energy across the regions. MUST SEE: Severe storms are expected in multiple rounds Thursday afternoon and evening, and after several days of heat and humidity above 30°C, the abundant moisture in the region could result in torrential downpours. Conditions may also align for potential tornado development north of the Ottawa Valley, across the Laurentians, and in the Gaspé Peninsula. A tornado warning covered the Pembroke, Ont. area just before the lunch hour, but was discontinued shortly after. Tornado-warned storms are likely throughout the day. You'll want to stay updated on the weather alerts in your area as conditions can change quickly when severe weather hits. Thursday: Risk of strong thunderstorms with heavy downpours and a possible tornado A low pressure system and a strong cold front will move through the Great Lakes Thursday, tracking eastward through the day. These conditions will bring the potential for severe thunderstorms in several areas, particularly in eastern Ontario, southern Quebec, and parts of the Maritimes. Storms moving through the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are expected to remain non-severe, as energy will peak further east ahead of the cold front by the afternoon. This increased energy, combined with ample moisture and notable wind shear, could fuel a strong cluster of storms. SEE ALSO: North of the Ottawa Valley, severe storms could begin in the afternoon. By evening, areas including eastern Quebec, the Gaspé Peninsula, and northern New Brunswick will also face a severe weather risk. Ottawa and Montreal residents should prepare for heightened storm intensity between 1–4 p.m., with the window extending from 1–7 p.m. for Quebec City and 3–9 p.m. for the Gaspé Peninsula and northern New Brunswick. Locally intense rainfall is possible, with 50–100 mm expected in some areas due to thunderstorms. This raises the risk of localized flooding. Conditions north of the Ottawa Valley, the Laurentians, and the Gaspé Peninsula may also support isolated tornadoes. DON'T MISS: It will be important to stay weather-aware throughout the day, and keep updated on any weather alerts or warnings issued in your area. Following Thursday's storm threat, relief from the heat is on the way, as cooler, drier air moves in for Friday. A more comfortable and seasonal weekend is ahead.
