Moon & mammatus over Alder Flats, AB from a slowly dying supercell near Rocky Mountain House. The cap too strong and flow too weak get things going outside deep in the foothills. Great for weather weary Albertans not so much for Storm chasers #ShareYourWeather #ABstorm #ABwx

Just got a tornado warning pushed to my phone for a tornado warned cell Southeast of Robb AB… 110 km away. It’s disappointing that polygons didn’t come this year!! #ABStorm #ABWX

Severe thunderstorms deep in the Alberta foothills…. Not sure they are gonna make it outta there. Some even have the “bean” shape on radar. 5:35p MDT looking SW from Alder Flats. Hoping the cell near Robb continues its slow march east. #ABstorm #ABwx #Chasecation2026

“Messy” storm setup is across AB today. Storms are xpctd to develop along the foothills this PM & cud become severe as they move east. Lrg hail, damaging winds, hvy rain, & even an iso🌪️ are possible. Yellow Watch for Severe T-storms in place for the foothills & SW AB. They may expand E l8tr #ABstorm

Good morning Calgary! The view from my hotel window. Have a few things to get to today first, but will be chasing later today if storms can break thru the “cap.” Certainly a sticky start to the day with dews approaching 20°C across S/centrl AB! #ShareYourWeather #ABStorm #ABWX

A view of the towering cumulus clouds over the BC Fraser Valley from over 25000ft aboard AC226, it took until 10000ft to reach the cloud bases as the convection is so elevated! 📍 above Chilliwack BC | 755p PT #ShareYourWeather #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX @50shadesofvan.bsky.social

Sweet got the @airbus.com A321 with tail and belly cameras on this evening’s @aircanada.bsky.social flight from #Vancouver to #Calgary… perfect for checking things out as we depart @yvrairport.bsky.social shortly! #YVR ✈️ #YYC #TalesOfAWeatherNerd #ShareYourTravels #AirCanada #AC226

A “view” of the thunderstorm over the Strait of Georgia that’s been producing lightning over the last 30 minutes with thunder heard… Lightning observed from the YVR control tower. Me, at the airport waiting for my flight to Calgary. #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX #YVRwx

Lightning at the mouth of Howe Sound as convective cells track North-Northwest. Most of the activity just to the west of the Lower Mainland, affecting Vancouver Island. And confirmed by a follower on the Vancouver & the Lower Mainland FB page #Bcstorm #Bcwx #BCstormwatch

Stay weather aware today Vancouver.. While thunderstorms don’t look to be severe, there’s a chance we see some this afternoon and especially this evening! Convection already making itself known in SW Washington and W Oregon #BCwx #BCstorm #BCstormwatch #YVRwx

Heads up Edmonton & those in the central Alberta! ECCC now highlighting a high risk of severe weather over the region today w/ all modes of severe wx possible. Severe wind gusts & large hail the biggest risk w/ the potential for a tornado or two. Have a way to receive wx alerts this PM #ABStorm

I literally fly out of YVR 3.5 hours before this… My luck in missing Vancouver thunderstorms (if they happen) is unsurpassed & unrivalled. If you have never heard of RVI - the Ryan Vacation Index - those weather weenies of BC and the US PNW can attest that is in fact, a thing! 🙄 #BCwx #BCstorm

Notice smoke this AM? Was caused by a fire on the W side of Burke Mtn in Coquitlam, starting in a structure, spreading to nearby trees. Crews xpct to contain it soon. W/dry cdtns, pls dispose of cigs properly & avoid activities that could create sparks. Even one spark can start a wildfire! #BCfire

Interesting sky over #Vancouver this evening… could be in for another nice sunset. Stay tuned! 📍 Iona Beach, Richmond, BC | 7:10p PT | 12 July 2026 #ShareYourWeather #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX #YVRWX

A month from today I’ll be on a cruise ship off the coast of Northern Spain. This will be my 3rd total solar eclipse. If you’ve never seen one, make sure you do, it’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. (And, a partial eclipse, even 98%, is nothing compared to totality!)

The last two weeks on the Prairies have been great for storm chasing; my FOMO real.😩 Reminding myself that with little time I get to chase, I have done just fine this year and chased with some great friends. 😀 Tho here’s hoping for just one more storm next weekend in Alberta.😅

Orange/Yellow Watches for Severe T-Storms issued for most of Sthrn Alberta (exclg the Rockies) - Look for these to be expanded into Saskatchewan as the day progresses. All modes of severe weather are possible inclg a tornado or two (risk highest Lloyd to Swift) #ABstorm #SKStorm

Photo of the Brunswick Creek Wildfire just north of Boston Bar in the Fraser Canyon taken 5 July 2026, mid-afternoon. I’m starting to wonder if there’ll be any unburnt forest betw there & Lytton by the 2030s. 😭 H/T 📸: Jess Hodges #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWildfire #BCwx #BCfire

You might’ve noticed it’s a little hazy this PM #Vancouver, more so in the Fraser Valley. Diffuse smoke, mainly aloft, is moving west-southwesterly from the Brunswick Creek wildfire near Boston Bar. We may see a bit of an increase on Mon before it’s pushed inland. #BCstorm #BCsmoke #BCwildfire #BCwx

Radar view of Super Typhoon Bavi as it bears down on Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. An incredibly powerful cyclone, Bavi is packing maximum sustained winds of 145knots (269km/h; 167 mph) and gusts to 175knots (324km/h; 201 mph) near the eyewall. #SuperTyphoon #Bavi #GUwx

Struggling a bit between clouds, my cold, and the city lights but undeterred, an #AuroraBorealis shot at 1:12am as they light up the skies over Vancouver’s North Shore Mountains. #ShareWith #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #AuroraWatch #NorthernLights @tamithaskov.bsky.social @ensembleator.bsky.social

Aurora possible tonight across the Lower Mainland if skies can clear over the next few hours. Current space weather is favourable, w/ a low Bz & strong hemispheric power. If you’re out after dark and skies clear, look N/NE. If conditions hold, you may catch a glimpse. #BCStorm #AuroraWatch #BCWX

On duty in the City of Port Coquitlam today! A heartfelt thank you to everyone working behind the scenes, and especially the incredible volunteers, for making our Canada Day celebrations such a success. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 #PortCoquitlam #Canada #HappyCanadaDay

While I wouldn’t trade chasing with my buddy @matthewpfabwx.bsky.social — I have said this before and I’ll say this again: The last week of June and first week of July are by far the best two weeks to chase in Canada. 📍Tornado Producing Supercell |Radisson SK | June 2024 #SKstorm #SKwx

Watching the Canada vs South Africa FIFA World Cup match with the best company in perfect patio weather at Dockside Restaurant in #Vancouver BC! GO TEAM CANADA! 🥂😎⚽️🇨🇦 #WorldCup #TeamCanada

Some fun w/ sunlight as the sun’s rays get filtered and scattered by the cirrus over Vancouver this morning…not quite a 22° halo but some interesting arcs at varying degrees around the sun! 9:15am PT | 25 June 2026 #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX #SweetCloudAction #YVRwx @ensembleator.bsky.social

Afternoon instability in a SW flow, aided by local mountains, has sparked dry thunderstorms over the North Shore, Olympics, & Cascades. Tracking NE, they will miss the Lower Mainland. Marine stratus offshore signals a shift to cooler, damp onshore flow by Thursday. #BCstorm #BCwx

One of the hottest days of the year (yes I know it’s summer) and the a/c isn’t working at the office. Thankfully I don’t mind the heat!😎 For those who don’t, Mother Nature’s a/c kicks after one more day of above seasonal temps. Then a cool, at times rainy, end to June for YVR!

Time for the long-ass drive home… I am ready but want to go back to the Plains at the same time. 😣 Oh wait, 10,000kms+ in mileage from storm chasing doesn’t come cheap. I guess work beckons! 😭
