Remarkable satellite imagery this evening of a major mid-latitude cyclone over the Canadian Prairies! At 979mb, the low is driving damaging winds and a significant dust storm across several states and provinces. Dust and smoke is seen here being drawn into the storm's dry slot!

There's a fast-moving wildfire burning in the foothills NW of Sundre, Alberta. Its growth has been driven by high winds. Winds should lessen this evening. It'll be cooler and less windy tomorrow, with rain and snow possible the next day. This will help slow spread. There was a lot of lightning in this area last night, so while not officially confirmed, it may have triggered this wildfire. #abfire

Canada: There is a new wildfire burning in Clearwater county in Alberta Canada. The fire is listed as out of control and very active. Alberta emergency management is asking anyone in the backcountry to leave immediately. “There is an out of control wildfire near highway 734, about 3 km northwest of the highway 584 junction in southwest Clearwater County. All campers, traffic and anyone in the backcountry that is within 10 km of highway 734, near the highway 584 junction should leave the area immediately. Residents in the area must prepare for a possible evacuation.”

A dust storm is moving across southern Manitoba this afternoon. The leading edge of the most significant dust is entering Portage la Prairie right now. It will spread across the Red River Valley this evening.

Check out this dust storm in SW Sask yesterday! Strong winds in the area, which continue to gust to 100km/h today, come courtesy a near-record setting low moving east across the prairies. Soil disturbance, low ground cover & dryness contributing to these movie-like scenes too.

Freshet has begun about two weeks early in the Alberta Rockies! Perhaps unsurprisingly, the sustained warmth since the beginning of month has begun melting the mountain snowpack. Should see some more snow added this weekend, before the melt commences once again. #abwater

BIG wind gusts across the southern Canadian Prairies on Thursday... Gusts of 80-100km/h likely from parts of central and southern Alberta in the morning, extending into SW Manitoba by evening. Gusts over 100km/h possible over southern Saskatchewan late afternoon. Damage to trees, outbuildings and fences may occur, as well as power outages. Secure loose items! The storm system will also bring heavy rain across parts of the southern Prairies, as well as snow and freezing rain over northern areas.

There is no sugar coating it - this is a horrendous decision that will significantly decrease confidence in mesoscale, short term and convective forecasting. The RRFS is terrible. Nobody that I have connected with in the community wants this to happen. Mind boggling.

This is a big deal. On August 31st, the RRFS and REFS will officially become operational. These models will replace a handful of models that have been in use for years. This includes the NAM and NAM 3k, HREF, SREF, and HiresW (including the ARW, NSSL, and FV3 CAMs). #wxtwitter

Foliage and greenery is much delayed in Winnipeg this year thanks to continued colder than normal weather this spring. Here's a comparison around today in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Barely anything yet this year, while trees were flowering today in 2024 and 2025.

Calgary Facebook Gardening group members: Can I plant my garden? Everyone in the comments: NO!!!!!

Heading to the foothills or mountains west of Calgary to go camping this May long weekend? Bundle up, and prepare for the potential of SNOW. Some flurries may even stray toward Calgary this weekend. It's a tradition! ❄️ #yyc #abstorm
