Just looking at the Hail production capabilities for these storms tomorrow-Wed 8AM-Thurs 8AM. Best chance-aft./evening hours, the deeper the yellow colour fill, the greater the risk, the bigger the stones. Focus and greatest risk -SWONT, less towards the GTAH. #onwx #onstorm

An anemometer on the Confederation Bridge linking NB with PEI recorded a gust of 153 km/h this afternoon. Radar shows a strong storm having an area of rotation crossing the bridge at about the same time. Anyone know where exactly that anemometer is located? Or how reliable it is?? #NBstorm #PEstorm

Yikes! ā€œStuckā€ summer jet stream patterns responsible for many crazy extremes seen in recent years have increased 3x in 70 years, something ā€œnot well captured by current-generation climate models…indicating even greater risk of persistent extreme summer weather events with ongoing warming.ā€

Sharing space with wildlife and being able to remain undetected can be tricky. Usually they're the ones blending into the environment. This fox was locked in on prey. #CaptureCoexistence

Last night's CSU machine learning Severe weather outlook guidance for this upcoming week for S. Ontario. #onwx #onstorm (6 panel-the week overall) A closer look for Wed.

Sorry the weather posts have been thin but there’s been no real weather here to chase! #ONstorm #ONwx

Latest SPC's Short Range Ensemble Forecast (SREF) Calibrated Severe thunderstorm risk/potential for Ontario -Just a quick run thru -to show the overall trend from Tues. Aft thru Wed. Evening. Dark red areas=higher risk. #onwx #onstorm Mid-aft into evening on both days fire off.

Not something you see every day.

‪ The NTP has confirmed the first and second recorded tornadoes of the 2025 season in Saskatchewan with weak tornadoes near Cut Knife, about 175 km NW of Saskatoon. Details at the NTP blog here: uwo.ca/ntp/blog/202... #SKstorm

The NTP has confirmed two weak tornadoes in SK - the first occurred on June 13 near Coleville and the second on June 14 near Hepburn. Both have been assigned an EF0-Default rating given no damage was reported or detected. Details: uwo.ca/ntp/blog/202... #SKstorm

The Maximum Estimated Size of Hail (MESH) radar product is showing potentially up to 75 mm hail on some of these storms across Alberta and Saskatchewan. #abwx #abstorm #skwx #skstorm Source: meso.cssl.ca

The Northern Hail Project is now active on Bluesky! Through our new Bluesky accounts, we hope to continue to engage with experts, citizen scientists, and other stakeholders to build on our knowledge and understanding of damaging hail across Canada.

The NHP has been busy preparing for field operations, both at home and abroad! For the #ICECHIP field campaign, the NHP and Western's UMS designed and built 4 platforms which collect and preserve hailstones, capture high-speed video of falling #hail, and measure hail fall speed with a small radar.

I'm not sure I believe this, but is there really a place just southwest of Calgary called Two Guns??? I know Westward Ho is real... But I've never seen anything about Two Guns.

Experts warn the rest of the summer may be hot and dry, conditions favourable for the continuation of wildfires. High temperatures and a lack of rain could mean some fires may not be fully extinguished all season. #SKfire www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Wow

ā€œA politically motivated assassinationā€. Absolutely horrifying. It is a dangerous time to be a politician. That’s not just brutal for politicians and their families. It’s terrible for democracy.

You also get a dog smile today

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

In America, the gospel is profit— and public lands are the final offering on the altar of consumerism. The environment is sacrificed, one transaction at a time. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/06/13/u...

Happy #Caturday! Cat Belly Day, Frodo and Sam, #CatsOfBluesky

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Philly showin' up today

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

Found the party

Watching us with a drone guess the dudes on the Smithsonian Took off my headset to fully appreciate the bros snowflaking at my shirt.

My tiny hometown of maybe 1500 with 8 churches. Surrounded by military bases, 120 miles to a hospital, 800+ to Juneau. To tell you what this does for my heart. #NoKings #AlaskaGrown #NoOneIsIllegalOnStolenLand

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

I was joking about this 2 months ago.

Hail is a destructive threat that claims billions of dollars in damage around the world every year. ow.ly/JyZX50W90MN
