Environment Canada forecasts a 60 percent chance of rain on Thursday with a risk of thunderstorms. The high will be 29 C, with humidex making it feel like 37 degrees. The Northern Tornadoes Project issued a Tweet saying Day 2 had the prospect of meteorologists “expecting enough components to be concentrated in parts of (eastern) Ontario and (southern) Quebec (Thursday) for a” Possible Tornado “threat. The North Tornadoes Project’s David Sills tells CTV News that the people of Ottawa must “pay close attention” to Canada’s environmental warnings. “NTP meteorologists are generating a tornado forecast to make sure our damage investigation teams are prepared for action,” Sils said. “The forecast for tomorrow includes an area of eastern Ontario and southern Quebec, where components are likely to come together to form strong storms and the threat of a tornado. Of course, hoping that our computer model guidance and interpretation is wrong and that we will be able to do it tomorrow without further damage. CTV News presenter on Five Matt Skube asked about the ingredients that could trigger a tornado in Ottawa. “We have this cold front coming tomorrow, very hot liquid air in front of it and we need wind shear, we need to increase the wind speed with height in the atmosphere, in order to have storms that are well organized and could cause intense weather.” said Sils. Sils says there is a “good chance” of strong thunderstorms in an area that includes Toronto and Kingston, while for the Ottawa area there is a “higher chance of a tornado.” Senior Canadian Environmental Climatologist David Phillips says Environment Canada ranks the risk of a severe storm in Ottawa and eastern Ontario on Thursday as “moderate.” “Watch the sky and the forecast closely and do the right thing if it breaks out. My view is that it is just a medium risk,” Phillips told Ottawa Now’s Newstalk 580 CFRA with Kristy Cameron. “We could end up with a little wind and a short lifespan, but no rotating clouds or twists that will appear in the listening area.” Phillips says the high and humid temperatures in Thursday’s forecast will be “fuel in the air” as a cold front moves in the area. “It will be a low cold front that will take this fuel, this heat and humidity, push it upwards and give it a little more, like steroids, like a hoe you say, so that it can lead “In severe storms,” said Phillips. “It does not have every possible tornado; fortunately, I think less than 10 percent. But strong winds can blow things around, you can get golf ball-sized hail and some torrential rains. “Yes, there can be some kind of tornado that can hit here or there, so we must always be careful.”
NTP meteorologists expect enough components to be partially combined in ern ON and srn QC tomorrow for a “Possible Tornado” threat, as shown in our * experimental * product Outlook Day 2. Day 1 update is available tomorrow morning, for this stay tuned … #onwx #qcwx pic.twitter.com/ZwLe7Tp7GN – Northern Tornadoes Project 🇨🇦 (@westernuNTP) June 15, 2022 The North Tornadoes Project warning of a “possible tornado” comes weeks after a powerful derecho caused extensive damage on May 21. “I can understand that the people of eastern Ontario are a little under threat. “You had tornadoes there in September 2018, some of the strongest tornadoes in eastern Canada for years, and then you had one on June 2 of the following year, less than nine months, and you had some sort of tornado event,” Phillips said. “Then, of course, you had the big derecho that came from Ontario on May 21, so I think you might feel your snake bite and I think there’s a bit of nervousness whenever the weather is bad.” The first tornado of the year in Ontario was spotted near Casselman last month. The Northern Tornadoes Project said an EFO tornado formed on May 15.
