Convective Activity In Alberta


Currently, convective activity is firing off the foothills and a few other places in Alberta. The slightly unstable airmass in place in the region was enough to initiate these convective showers, possibly thundershowers as the afternoon/early evening roll on. If you would like to send me any pictures of this convective action, email me at Jonwpg92@gmail.com and I will use them in the blog.

Some impressive convection in Manitoba over the past few days. Some thundershowers, and showers have come about during the day as temperatures hit 10 degrees!

Yup, one came overhead in my area too. I took pictures and videos of it, which are in my weather log section.
