Started by request of anpther member....

This is a NOW thread for the ongoing deep convection in the northern Plains (into Canada) ongoing. A blue box was just issued for the region... +2500j/kg SBCAPE and strong flow at all levels should make for a decent evening.

Hook on Radar

There is a hook near Estevan. Radar showing the main storm at 55dbz.
Storms in Moose Jaw are moving NNE, main storm may hit Saskatoon sometime with in the next few hours.

A lot of this is backfilling per Jared, and looks like a good day to go for a chase.

More info

Looks like the storm that had the hook is breaking apart.
But, we have a lot of backfilling going on.
