Convective Outlook Valid for Today and Tomorrow

Regional Impacts

 

Locally heavy downpours possible over southern New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

 

Convective Discussion

 

In general weak updrafts can be expected today as warm advection aloft will tend to keep the local atmospheric conditions relatively stable. However we will continue to see ample moisture with upwards of 50mm of precipatable water available for southern areas and generally more than 40mm across the Maritimes. Embedded thunderstorms could be sufficient to generate local flash flooding this evening for southwest Nova Scotia and locally heavy downpours elsewhere. The threat of severe weather is minimal today, however conditions for tomorrow could be somewhat more hazardous depending on the remaining moisture and timing of the upper trough that will move over the region.
