Current models indicate rainfall amounts of up to 160mm falling in parts of Alberta over the weekend, The bulk of it falling in a 24 hour period. Imbedded thunderstorms could drive localized amounts even higher. A note that these forecast amounts exceed all time single day records for many of the effected areas. Also with much of the record mountain snow pack yet to melt there is a possible risk of river flooding of many major rivers in west central Alberta. Stay tuned for updates

Happy Holidays and New Year 2012
2011 draws to a close with best hopes for 2012. To round off the year here is my annual “best of lightning”
So far the winter season has been a dud. 6C warmer than average and hardly any snow, this may have a negative effect on the 2012 season if we come into spring and summer with drought conditions. But never worry, here in Alberta not even a mega drought can stop the supercells!
