This looks to be an active few days ahead. The SPC has us in "enhanced" today/tonight.
Looks like a better chance of severe than my last post July 19th...
Have a great day.

I'm on the leading edge of this right now, just starting to get really dark here in Midland. The radar is showing a very turbulent system, every velocity cross-section angle looks completely different. huge temperature drop too. Feels atleast 6 deg C cooler and dropping.

Wasn't terrible, less wind than i would've thought. Nice lightning though and some heavy rain.

the storm hitting kincardine and southward has some decent localized rotation

yup, thought so :P

At 3 P.M. EDT, Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a cluster of severe thunderstorms near Oliphant capable of producing local strong wind gusts and Toonie size hail and heavy rain.

Also interesting storm motion near stayner and creemore. In 2014 I think a similar pattern was responsible for an F1 further south by Hwy 89 or Hwy 9 can't remember. But that should be closely watched. Either way there's also some very strong gust fronts associated with that storm and the one southwest of it
