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.

✈️ Wheels up for a 10-day vacation in northern Italy! How long into the flight should I wait to show my wife this image of the Po Valley during peak season? I can feel the eye rolls already

I did alright. Wish I got there a bit earlier to properly position, but made it to Hanover just in time. My benchmark for a successful chase is getting on a tor-warned storm, so I’ll take the win, however marginal it was. I reminded myself the ceiling was unlikely to be achieved before embarking

Andrew Macklin - WX @amacklin10.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

I saw your dot just to my north from Hanover and was hoping to see your POV of the rotation. Impressive that you were able to record it amongst the mush! (which a very accurate descriptor)

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?

Andrew Macklin - WX @amacklin10.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

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

Andrew Macklin - WX @amacklin10.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

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

Andrew Macklin - WX @amacklin10.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

From this evening. That rotating bowled lowering sure jump-started the adrenaline

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?!

000

Andrew Macklin - WX @amacklin10.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

Eclipse day was the best day ❤️ Do you have your eyes on Tuesday for storms? It reminds me of May 2 2016(?) which had a similar parameter space and and an enhanced risk, but too much shear for anything substantial to materialize beyond fast moving thundershowers through cottage country.

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 🤞

The Mini series will hold up fine if you’re in front of the storm and not flying high in the inflow region. If you want to get closer to the mess you’ll want to upgrade to the Air or Mavic series. I have the Air 3 and absolutely love it.

My body still hasn’t recovered from Thursday’s storm… I just shovelled my banks down to half height so that there’s somewhere to pile tomorrow’s snow.
