daddylonglegs Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I was wrong on the clouds. Almost totally blue skies to the north out the window...sun is shining bright into the house. Hopefully the clouds stay away so I can check out the northern lights later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 The Ministry of Natural Resources has issued a flood watch for all of Southern Ontario. Provincial Messages Issued for: MNR Districts: Algonquin Park, Aurora, Aylmer, Bancroft, Guelph, Kemptville, Midhurst, Parry Sound, Pembroke, Peterborough Conservation Authorities: Ausable Bayfield, Cataraqui Region, Catfish Creek, Central Lake Ontario, Credit Valley, Crowe Valley, Essex Region, Ganaraska Region, Grand River, Grey Sauble, Halton, Hamilton, Kawartha, Kettle Creek, Lake Simcoe Region, Long Point Region, Lower Thames Valley, Lower Trent, Maitland Valley, Mississippi Valley, Niagara Peninsula, Nottawasaga Valley, Otonabee, Quinte, Raisin Region, Rideau Valley, Saugeen, South Nation, St. Clair Region, Toronto and Region, Upper Thames River Weather Situation An intensifying low pressure system pushing northwards from southern United States will bring clouds and period of rain starting Monday evening in southwestern Ontario. Rainfall of 10-25 mm is expected anywhere from Oshawa westwards to Windsor today into tomorrow. Rainfall is expected to further intensify tomorrow into Wednesday for most of southern Ontario with amounts ranging from 40-60mm with some localised areas receiving in excess of 60 mm. Current forecast suggests that Sarnia, Barrie and Toronto could receive 60+ mm and Kingston and surrounding could get 50+ mm for Tuesday. Strong gale force winds are expected to pass through the lower great lakes at 40-60km/h with sustained gust up to 80km/h from the north east tomorrow changing to north west as the system progresses eastwards on Wednesday. The system will produce rainfall from 10-20 mm for Southern Ontario on Wednesday before it start to pull out of the province by Thursday. Risks Stream flows in the southwest and southcentral Ontario are responding to recent rainfall as the ground is likely saturated. Additional rainfall is the amounts forecasted is likely to result in higher stream flows and localised flooding in southwest and southcentral Ontario. Forecast rainfall of 40 to 60 mm with isolated locations receiving 60+ mm meets the Surface Water Monitoring Centres Antecedent Precipitation Index model’s flood threshold criteria for the much of southwest and south central Ontario. The strong gale fore winds could result in high waves and higher water levels for the Lower Great Lakes Region Tuesday and Wednesday. A close watch on local conditions, and updated forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada is recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CME still hasn't hit so it looks like we may have some pretty good timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Someone should change the subtitle of this thread to "out like a lion" Or maybe out like a unicorn or something....considering how unusual and weird the event is. well said. This entire Fall has been abnormal what with the back-to-back blowtorch months of October and November. I did locate one other year (apart from 1975) where a warm November in Toronto was followed by a cold December and January, and that was 1963. CFRB News in Toronto quoted the Weather Network as saying it will be a warm winter in Toronto with average snowfall. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&stormfile=winter_outlook_2011__2012_211111?ref=ccbox_homepage_topstories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Managed 37F... Mostly blue skies out there; should be dark within an hour. Some clouds out to the west, but some of those seem to be falling apart from the loss of daytime heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the elevation have anything to do with the GTA wx bubble... kw is 1,079 ft and Toronto is only 249 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the elevation have anything to do with the GTA wx bubble... kw is 1,079 ft and Toronto is only 249 ft. Higher elevation, closer to the Lk Huron snowbelt, away from the marine influence of the lower lakes. That's why KW gets more snow than Toronto.

Also, I have a theory that SW winds downsloping off the Niagara escarpment tend to dry up a lot of wrap around rain/snow that would otherwise get here.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Higher elevation, closer to the Lk Huron snowbelt, away from the marine influence of the lower lakes. That's why KW gets more snow than Toronto. Also one of the main reasons Ottawa sees so much more snow. Many think it's because it's further north. That is partly true of course, but it's largely due to the fact that Ottawa is away from the lakes. The cold air has nothing to modify as it moves south, unlike anywhere south and west of Barrie. Also there's the Ottawa valley effect. Toronto really is a screwzone for winter weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I've always wondered if the escarpment had some effect on Milton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
