You can find beauty in unexpected places. Here, a dying sun in the horizon illuminates from underneath some wispy, low-level cumulus. 😍
WOW! You may be one of the thousands of people in Ottawa standing outside and taking pictures of this rare (for here) formation of Asperitas clouds. They are harmless themselves but there is a storm coming up behind them! #ottweather#ONStorm
I would expect low-topped storms to develop, with the main threat of high winds if the upper winds mix down to the surface. Let's see what happens. (2/2)
Cold front will slice through Ottawa early in afternoon, bringing along high probability of showers or thunderstorms. Surface energy levels are on the low side, but with strong low-level lapse rates. Mid-level lapse rates are low, but with strong winds aloft. (1/2) #ottweather
Seeing a total solar eclipse was an experience of a lifetime, and something I will not forget. Best moment was suddenly seeing the stars appear in the sky within an instant! #Eclipse2024
ECLIPSE DAY Cloud cover outlook. High-level cirrus clouds have just started to arrive in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. Eclipse may still be noticeable if just high-level clouds, but best viewing spots will be in southeastern Quebec. Good luck! #Eclipse2024#ottweather
T-1 Eclipse Cloud Cover outlook. HRRR model is a bit depressing as it shows cloud cover the furthest east, but the rest of the short-range models seem to agree that Southeast Quebec has the lowest chance of cloud coverage if you're still selecting your target area. #Eclipse2024
T-2 Eclipse Cloud Cover outlook. Short-range models included now that we are within 48 hours. They confirm what the other models have been saying -- extreme E. Ontario and S. Quebec will have the best chances for eclipse viewing without cloud coverage. #Eclipse2024#ottnews
T-3 Eclipse Cloud Cover outlook. Roughly the same trend with clouds moving east. Euro has the cloud cover further east today than the GFS (towards Montreal) #Eclipse2024
