सोमेथिंग गोइंग ओं?

I have been very sickly for the last couple of weeks with an extremely runny nose and choking cough. I suddenly woke up for "no reason" at 6am even though I should be tired since I was up very late. I checked he weather and email and went back to bed. Tossing and turning, I got up again and took a closer look at the weather.

The clouds look dangerous for this time of the day moving fast and with much moisture. Looking at CAP/CONUS, the wind speed is at maximum for 850 mb, instability is strong, temperatures are warm and humid. Wind is not the strongest, though but the forecast says a drop in temperatures and a south wind will change to westerly gusts of up to 60km/hr this afternoon with "rain". I predict a thunderstorm and a strong one at that. If anything, it could be an opportunity to get get some nice shots of thunderheads forming today. Maybe I'm just excited, I think I will go for a walk to a random coffee shop somewhere, most likely somewhere quiet with a view...hmmm.

I'll check back in at 11am. or maybe 10...

Early warnings?

that is extremely strange. I posted this on Bebo, you suckers so it wouldn't get stolen again. Keep trying....

Re-post after theft:

"Tornadoes are killing people
I will be very blunt. I have been given another several prior warnings. This reminds me of the days leading up to 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, times 100. Look at the tornado death numbers. May has only just begun and this has already been the worst year ever. The National Weather Service has had to update the fujita scale for this year. They have added an "E" to the scale for Extreme. So the worst type of tornado would now be referred to as an EF-5. All I can say for now, is watch the weather.

Heating up!

It is starting to really warm up here in Saskatoon. The streets are still very dusty but the air is very humid above due to such a huge amount of moisture we have all around us this spring. The clouds look absolutely ready to make for some incredible low cloud shots this spring. With a forecast of upper 20s, with rain, I can't help but get excited about the coming spring thunderstorms. It is always refreshing to get a good pounding of rain to help sweep all the dust away. Trees are just starting to sprout some leaves so it may be too early for a really powerful storm.

Check my archived photos while I prepare for the coming season.
