Convective Outlook Valid for Today , Tonight and Tomorrow

Regional Impacts

Risk of a thunderstorm today across southern LAB.

 

Scattered thunderstorms likely across NB and a portion of Labrador on Monday. Slight risk of a thunderstorm for a portion of NS and PEI.

 

Convective Discussion

Not much on the go today aside from a weak upper trough that might give a thunderstorm or 2 across southernmost Labrador. An upper trough will advance from the Great Lakes region on Monday giving more support for scattered thunderstorms across NB and portions of Labrador. Some small hail, gusty winds and torrential downpours possible in the deeper cells. OTWZ nothing else to talk about.

Convective Discussion

 

The centre of Post-Tropical Cyclone Debby is tracking through Anticosti and towards northern Newfoundland this afternoon. A trailing cold front will be weakening as it moves across southern New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island today. The main risk of embedded convection is along this front where rainfall rates could reach over 20 mm/h. Southern New Brunswick has already seen near 100 mm total rainfall since yesterday from heavy downpours and enhanced upslope flow as precipitable water of upwards of 50 mm continues to stream northward from the Gulf Stream  There may be some TCUs in showers with a slight risk of a thundershower over western New Brunswick this afternoon if a cap near 700 mb can be breached based on the morning Caribou sounding. Embedded thunderstorms will continue eastward over the southern marine waters tonight and into Sunday.

Convective Discussion

 

Post-Tropical Cyclone Debby is interacting with an upper trough over central Ontario, helping to advect moisture into southern Quebec, New England and into the Maritimes today then towards Newfoundland into Saturday. The axis of heaviest moisture with embedded thunderstorms this morning has been over the St. Lawrence River towards eastern Ontario and south into New York State and along the southern coast of Maine. These areas are expected to move across northwestern New Brunswick and the Gulf of St. Lawrence overnight and into the Bay of Fundy. Pockets of heavy rain should then pull eastward into southern New Brunswick, PEI, NS and Newfoundland on Saturday with a trailing cold front. There may be embedded convection with this rain, enhancing rainfall amounts as precipitable water of 50 to 60 mm moves through the region but with a quite warm 500mb level as well, convection may end up capped. Regardless, heavy downpours are expected.

Convective Discussion

There is a risk of non-severe thundershowers for portions of eastern Labrador and northern Newfoundland today in the unstable northwest flow in the wake of a low well east of the region. On Friday, embedded non-severe thundershowers are possible over portions of the Maritimes associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby which is moving up the east coast of the United States.
