Normally I love the rain, but I had the week off and wanted to do some cycling or work on my motorcycle so it put a kink in my plans. I did get to finish what I wanted to do on my motorcycle before it poured this afternoon though, so it wasn't a complete loss.

Off topic but what did you do to the bike?

Took off the factory forward controls and installed mids. Earlier in the week I removed the exhaust wrap the previous owner put on and painted the heat shields, though it would have been much better had I done it during a nice, warm day.

Did you catch the funnel cloud on the way back? We tried to go to the Dawgs game too.

Yeah that sucked. Was looking forward to the game.
I missed the funnel cloud, but went through that huge downpour as we were coming into town at 192nd. Wipers on full speed and still couldn't see 20 feet in front of us. Didn't see the funnel cloud til I watched the news at 6:00.

Environment Canada finally took a clue and issued a Tstorm watch today - before the skies are black this time.

BTW, I went out and picked up a whole-house surge suppressor. With the number of storm-days in a row (21?) and many, very close strikes, its only a matter of time before something gets zapped good.

I can't even see a cloud... Not one.

Its a WATCH, not a WARNING.

Watch = good chance for storms developing today
Warning = you're about to get hit

Spotted several funnel clouds yesterday in the okotoks area (and further east) coming back into town.

Was bigger, then smaller, then disappeared. Then came back even bigger.

Big storm coming up from the south right now... Looks like high river and okotoks are gonna get hammered again.

It was just pretty ugly in the Black Diamond area, very heavy rain and pea sized hail was coming down sideways, trees whipping around. I was considering taking to the basement but it seems to be subsiding now.

[revelations]

The south parts of Calgary will be hit here within 1/2 hour. Up to pinp-pong side hail can be possible.

Gettin' dark in the dirty SE. Incoming!

Well I got my front lawn cut today... Been trying to do that for weeks now

Queue the lightning and thunder.. Wtf is with the weather lately

[nickyh]

I love knowing how to track these planes now, let's me know when something serious is brewing.
Two planes are currently up and about, one guys flight path is certainly interesting

[adam c]

Where do you see these planes?

edit- hail in McKenzie

[KrisYYC]

Pretty good thunder and lightning rolling through my area now (Haysboro). Heavy rain. No hail yet...

Edit: 30 seconds after posting got a quick dump of pea to marble sized hail.

I use this site to see if I can see the squiggles

Then this one and look for the plan IDs by clicking on the small planes
