Incredible evening in Alberta's Sheep River valley!

Alberta and northeast chasers would report this as violent

One wildcard could be the wildfire smoke being generated across northern Ontario on Monday evening, which will be blown toward the risk area through Tuesday. This could play at least somewhat of a role in limiting storm severity (and visibility), if timed correctly.

A potentially dangerous day of severe weather ahead for portions of eastern Canada on Tuesday. A set of unusually potent ingredients could yield a regional tornado outbreak spanning from extreme eastern ON to NB, focused over parts of southern Quebec and the Eastern Townships, as well as adjacent areas of northern New England. #qcstorm

Hot, windy conditions causing explosive wildfire spread across northwestern Ontario this evening! One fire is producing a pyrocumulonimbus cloud, which is a fire-generated thunderstorm. Skies being darkened downwind, including in Thunder Bay. #onfire #onstorm

@scottdkehler Only place I've probably experienced a 27°C dewpoint is in a steam room

@BadWeatherKyle A 17 C dewpoint is bone dry 😁

Crazy...Calgary went from nosebleed dry to super muggy in just an hour. A simple wind shift from westerly to northeasterly was all it took. The dewpoint jumped from -1C at 9PM to 17C at 10PM! #yyc #abwx

@ConnorMockettWX Definitely concerning for the St. Lawrence valley...

Tomorrow looks absolutely insane, and that may be putting it lightly. I have a great memory with past chases and setups in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, and I don't recall ever having an environment here like Tuesday has. The ceiling for the day is huge. #onstorm #qcstorm

@JayLesykWX Like a sloshing dryline in the TX panhandle!

@BadWeatherKyle that’s a ridiculous jump🤯

@RyanVoutilainen @JayLesykWX All the moisture was to the northeast!

@BadWeatherKyle @JayLesykWX Weird that it was the northeasterly too… And not a southeasterly.

@Brad_In_YYC Dewpoint/moisture is just one ingredient...tomorrow should be pretty chill in southern AB!

@BadWeatherKyle I think I remember you thinking there was a good link between dew points and severe thunderstorms. What would this potentially do for tomorrow with the high dew point? I just arrived in Medicine Hat and it's comfortably warm. But definitely feel a higher humidity than Okotoks.

Obscenely high dewpoint temperatures approaching the 27-28°C+ range southern SK and MB this evening. This could be record-breaking for some locations. Evening becomes extremely humid as soon as turbulent mixing from solar heating shuts down, but before dew forms.

My favourite human in my favourite place today #banff #canadianrockies

@WhidbeyWXGuy Ugh that looks like a wildfire outbreak

Models are showing the potential for a regional thunderstorm event sometime around Wednesday through Friday as a storm system offshore draws up monsoon moisture from the Desert SW. Still quite a bit of disagreement between models, but this needs to be watched closely, especially for wildfire concerns. Anyone from Arizona to British Columbia and out over to Montana are in the threat zone.

Thank extremely wet soils from recent heavy rains, combined with a very strong upper ridge bringing very high temperatures. Evaporation of soils and transpiration of growing crops ("crop sweat") is the pathway #soupy

@Trenten_WX @FORSYTHE_WX @TwistaHunterz Frick yeah boys

Steak warranted after i witnessed 3 tornadoes in the last 4 days #abstorm #skstorm @FORSYTHE_WX @TwistaHunterz

@HunterMarkewich 16C dews in Churchill is juiced! Polar bears definitely witnessing subarctic twisters today

Dominating 😎.

A profusion of wildflowers in Banff National Park today! Simply fantastic.

@BenChernesky @teamdomcanada Good work yesterday!

Twin tornadoes south of Glaslyn, Saskatchewan yesterday. Caught these surprise rope tornadoes as I was approaching the main rainwrapped circulation over town. #skstorm @teamdomcanada

@HunterMarkewich So sick to see the full structure from behind

@BadWeatherKyle Thanks! Still happy I got to see it, even if the picture wasn't amazing.

This was my only catch of the Tulliby to Onion lake tornado before it reached peak intensity. Unfortunately I hit a road closure and was out of position to get ahead of it. Great job to those who were able to get close, chasing out here is not easy! #abstorm
