Convective Outlook Valid for Today

Regional Impacts

 

NB/PEI: Chance of a thundershower this afternoon/evening with the potential for small hail and gusty winds.

NS/NFLD: None.

Labrador: Chance of a scattered thundershower this afternoon in the east.

 

Convective Discussion

 

A cold front approaching from Labrador and weak surface troughing well ahead of it, will give a  chance of thundershowers in New Brunswick and western Prince Edward Island.  The ML cape is generally low (300-500 J/kg) and the shear is 30-40 kts so any storms that develop will be mostly pulse in variety. Precipitable water values are 20 to 25 mm, so rainfall is not so much of a concern. Dry mid layers will allow possible wind gusts of 60-70 km.
