Convective Outlook Valid for Today and Tomorrow

Regional Impacts:

 

Today

NB/NS/PEI/Labrador: A chance of non-severe thundershowers. Gusty winds and downpours are possible in Labrador.

NL: None.

 

Tonight

NS/PEI/NL: A chance of non-severe thundershowers.

NB/Labrador: None.

 

Tuesday

NB: A chance of non-severe thundershowers.  Gusty winds and downpours are possible.

NS/PEI/NL/Labrador: None

 

Convective Discussion:

A warm and humid air mass prevails throughout the region. An upper trough and a supportive vorticity centre will enable surface based thunderstorms over Labrador today. MUCAPE values of 500-1000 J/kg are expected over Labrador however shear values near 10 kts will limit the thunderstorm impacts to non-severe. Gusty winds to 70 km/h are possible. PWAT values near 40 mm maintain the downpour threat that has been in existence for the last few days in areas where the cells are training or slow moving. There is a risk of non-severe thundershowers over northwestern New Brunswick today. MLCAPE values of up to 500 J/kg are expected over New Brunswick however shear values are near 10 kts. There is a chance of embedded thundershowers over portions of Nova Scotia and PEI later today. On Tuesday, there is a risk of non-severe thundershowers over western New Brunswick but the downpour threat that has been in existence for the last few days will persist in areas where the cells are training or slow moving.

A warm and humid air mass prevails throughout the region. An upper trough and a supportive vorticity centre will enable surface based thunderstorms over Labrador today. MUCAPE values of 500-1000 J/kg are expected over Labrador however shear values are near 10 kts will limit the thunderstorm impacts to non-severe. Gusty winds to 70 km/h and small hail (relatively low freezing level) are possible. PWAT values near 40 mm maintain the downpour threat that has been in existence for the last few days in areas where the cells are training or slow moving. There is a slight risk of an embedded thundershower over extreme northwestern New Brunswick today.

Convective Discussion:

 

A warm and humid air mass prevails throughout the region. A 30kt southwesterly LLJ and a supportive vorticity centre is giving thundershowers over areas of Newfoundland today. Generally MLCAPE values range from 500-1000J/kg however a clear lack of a trigger or a supportive upper jet should allow the main threat to be downpours. PWAT values near 40 mm maintain the downpour threat that has been in existence for the last few days in areas where the cells are training or slow moving.

Regional Impacts

NB: Isolated non-severe thunderstorms possible over the northern half of NB this afternoon, rainfall up to 10 mm.

NS & PEI: A few embedded thunderstorms with locally heavy downpours of 15 mm,  possibly up to 30 mm over eastern NS.

NL: Isolated thunderstorms over southeastern Labrador, and Northern peninsula, and possibly over central portions of the island,  rainfall up to 10 mm.

 

Convective Discussion…

Warm and humid air mass prevails throughout the region, with the exception of Labrador where dewpoint temperatures are less than 15. The main area of interest today is along a 30kt southwesterly LLJ which is pumping moisture into an axis running from south of Halifax through eastern regions of mainland NS, and then to the northeastward to the Northern peninsula of NF. A deep instability layer above 850mb with tops extending to 9-10 km is analysed on the Shearwater sounding, generally MUCAPE values range from 500-1000J/kg. The LLJ and the presence of areas of vertical velocities at 700mb will likely enhance rainfall processes over the previously mentioned area today. A 75kt southwesterly upper jet also will also support some of the convective cells that forms. Over southern NB and western-most regions of NS, warming is expected in the mid-levels today which will prevent low level instability from extending vertically.
