Non-zero tornado threat over central parts of southern ON with this convective line developing now. I've found that the SPC Mesonanalysis 'tornadic tilting and stretching parameter' seems to work well in such situations. And it's showing enhanced potential. Will be keeping an eye on this... #ONstorm

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Hold up, there is a peculiarity in the footage with boosted contrast. This slender elephant-trunk-looking feature was present for 30sec and is in the right spot to be a funnel cloud. Inflow is entering the tor-warned circulation from the right side of the photo. #onwx thoughts?

Some great lightning from the weekend's SW Ontario chase! This is from the backside of the decaying tornado-warned circulation. It was great to return to the area (first chase there since 2020) and arrive *just* in time for the action. #onwx

The tornado-warned circulation from a couple of evenings ago in SW Ontario. The drone recorded the storm circulation for +20mins and it did not indicate any touchdowns (even with boosted contrast). Tricky when the circulation was often obscured by heavy rain #onwx

Beautiful shelf passing north of Hanover from a couple of nights ago. This is looking northwest towards Chesley where notable radar-indicated rotation was buried deep in the precipitation. #onwx

Sunday was well spent in the Adirondacks High Peak district. Hard to believe that these views are only a four-hour drive away, and a reminder not to take them for granted. Tbh this trail kicked my ass...3500 steep feet of elevation gain over rough, untamed forest terrain

Clearing is moving into Central Ontario. I won’t make it to the jungles of Haliburton-Bancroft but a safe bet for Sev Tstorms is the OTT River Valley where there is a boundary, and marginally enhanced moisture pooling/directional shear. Good chase terrain nearby in Shawville QC. Lets go

Ah yes, the classic westward cutoff low moving from *check notes* Labrador to Pikes Peak... I love model shenanigans

Andrew Macklin - WX @amacklin10.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Tues chasing expectations: low, considering the narrow time window for SFC-based severe in Central Ontario. As usual with these early-season setups, the CAPE may not advect quite as far north as modelled. It's April afterall... Tues chasing excitement: high. Because it's April?!

I acknowledge this is a “way-too-soon” post. But hey, it’s April, and we’re jonesing for a chase. The last few GFS runs have hinted at the season’s first substantial severe threat next week for the Canadian side of the lower Great Lakes. Keep an eye on the trough’s evolution through the weekend.

One year ago I got to witness my favourite spectacle, but better yet, this time it was with my favourite people. They rallied hard when I told them we have to leave Belleville immediately in order to make it to Quebec’s Eastern townships and avoid being clouded over.

The NTP has completed a third Tornado Warning Performance Assessment for Canada, this time covering 2023-2024. It includes a 'report card' on progress. And we're happy to report that there has been progress - the overall score has improved enough to earn a 'C'. Details here: uwo.ca/ntp/blog/202...

This map depicts the most likely category (above-, near- or below-normal) for April-May-June 2025 seasonal mean temperatures. Orange/red (blue) colors correspond to favored above-normal (below-normal) temperatures respectively with the darker shades indicating higher likelihoods of that category. White areas labeled EC (Equal Chances) indicate that the odds are equal for each of the three categories.

I made a gallery wall in the basement and it makes me giddy! Narrowing it down to 16 photos was tricky as they are some favourite moments while out chasing, hiking and diving. Here’s hoping 2025 will bring another worthy entry or two 🤞

Chasecation Photo #8 Seiling OK, May 25. A brief tornado spins up as the storm moved off of the dryline. This was during a moderate-risk day across Oklahoma, with an atmosphere primed for a tornado outbreak. We followed these storms for nearly 300 miles across the state. #TheEHTeam

Chasecation photo #7. May 24th. I had initially picked the wrong storm and finally caught up to this dying mesocyclone above the trees north of Dallas TX. This storm was tornado-warned for over an hour before sputtering out.
