Our wet summer here in Halifax continued today. Rain began early afternoon and continued into the evening. Up to 9:50 pm we have recieved 17 mm. Cooler today for a change, our high today was only 19.8*C while the low was 14.6*C, reached this evening. Currently it is 14.8*C with light easterly windsand light rain which should be ending soon. The barometer is 101.0 kPa, down from the high of 101.2 kPa. the low was 100.9 kPa.

Rain early this morning gave us 4 mm. It was cloudy this morning then cleared off somewhat this afternoon. This mornings low was 17.0*C and the high was 25.6*C. The temperature is currently 22.1*C under clear skies. The barometer is 100.7 kPa up from the low of 100.1 kPa.

It appears that TS Chris will not become a hurricane after all. In fact it will soon be down graded to a TD.

The thundershowers I talked about occurred overnight even though I slept through most of it. I picked up 10 mm of rain from it. More are forecasted for tonight.
The high temperature today was 29.9*C and the low was 17.6*C. The current temperature is 24.5*C under clear skies. The barometer is 100.2 kPa up from the daily low of 100.0 kPa.

The temperature is currently 19.2*C and the barometer is 100.8 kPa down the the high of 101.2 kPa this morning. Chance of thundershowers overnight and tomorrow morning, then clearing with a high of 30*C is forecasted.

Take note on suface analysis of TS Chris, expected to become a hurricane Thursday or Friday. As of now track is expected to take it into the GOM.

Thunderstorm Days 3

Sun and cloud here this morning and mainly sunny this afternoon. The morning low was 15.0*C while the afternoon high was 26.4*C. At 8:00 pm the temperature is at 22.5*C and the barometer is 100.6 kPa down .2 kPa.

Chance of showers tomorrow and thunder showers tomorrow night. Wednesday looks hot with highs forecasted to be 30*C.

After the passage of the cold front early this morning, today was a much more bearable day temperature and humidity wise. It was sunny all day with a high of 24.9*C and a not so low morning low of a sticky 19.3*C. The temperature at 8:30 is 22.1*C and the barometer is at 100.5 kPa, up .4 kPa from this morning.

Cloud and drizzle greeted us this morning, but by mid morning sun came out and the temperature soared. I registered my warmest temperature in several years, 30.1*C with a warm NW wind. Today's low was 16.6*C. The current temperature at 8:30 pm was 26.3*C. The barometer is at 100.0 kPa down .1 kPa from this morning.

A cold front is currently coming across the Bay of Fundy but Thunderstorms seem to have died out as it reached the N.S. side. Hopefully with the passage of this front the temperature will drop or it could be a hard night for sleeping.

Today was generally a cloudy day with some hazy sunshine mid afternoon. Today's high was 23.7*C while the low was 16.6*C. At 8:30 pm the temperature was at 19.6*C. The barometer was 100.8 kPa, down from 101.5 kPa this morning.

Currently there is a cold front moving through down east Maine producing a fair bit of lightning. Probably won't hold together when it reaches here, but anything can happen.

Well,today started out cloudy, just like the last few days, but cleared off to be a nice but a bit muggy afternoon. Today's low was 16.5*C while the high reached 24.5*C. The temperature at 8:10 pm was 21.3*C, a bit warmer at this time of night than the past few. Barometer was 101.5 kPa down .2 kPa from this morning.

The system off our coast stayed well off the coast. Only effect was the morning cloudiness. After some possible showers tomorrow evening and Saturday morning the weekend looks pretty good with highs in the mid twenties with a mix of sun and cloud. Can't rule out a possible thunder shower tomorrow evening.

This morning began with cloud and fog, clearing to hazy sunshine with a humid SW wind. This mornings low was 15.8*C and our high was 22.9*C. At 8:25 pm the temperature was 20.5*C and the barometer read 101.6 kPa down .1 kPa from this morning.

There is still some uncertainy about the system that the CMC's GEM REG is showing for tomorrow. EC has basically called this model an outlier, while at the same time isssueing a special weather statement for tomorrow. Surface analysis still c shows it off our coast tomorrow, I guess time will tell.

WOCN11 CWHX 261906
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR NOVA SCOTIA ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT
CANADA AT 4:07 PM ADT WEDNESDAY 26 JULY 2006.

A DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OFF CAPE HATTERAS IS FORECAST TO
TRACK JUST SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA ON THURSDAY. SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS SYSTEM ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP IN SOUTHWESTERN AREAS OF MAINLAND
NOVA SCOTIA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND THEN SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD ON
THURSDAY. GIVEN THE ORIGIN AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS SYSTEM SOME
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER THERE REMAINS
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TRACK AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM. THE PUBLIC IS ADVISED TO MONITOR FUTURE FORECASTS AS
RAINFALL WARNINGS MAY BE REQUIRED.


Other models take this system out to sea.

Today started out with some cloud and fog, but it soon burned off leaving us with a sunny and pleasant day. The morning low was the coolest we have had in several weeks, 13.2*C. Our afternoon high was 23.0*C. The barometer is now at 101.8 kPa, down from 102.1 kPa this morning. Temperature at 7:30 pm is 20.6*C.

Looking ahead, the surface analysis shows a weak ,low pressure system off of the mid U.S. eastern seaboard. The CMC GEM regional shows this off of our coast on Thursday. It appears this could be our next weather maker.

A fast moving low pressure system which formed over the east coast of the U.S. passed over our area today giving rain at times heavy this morning and late this afternoon. I recorded 37 mm at my location. Clearing arrived at supper time with cooler temps and lower humidity thanks to the north winds. Expected to be back in the sw flow later tomorrow so we can expect a return to the humid conditions. Today's high temperature was 21.7*C and the morning low was 16.2*C. At 8:15 pm the temperature was 17.7*C and the barometer was at 101.2 kPa and rising. Winds were from the north at 10 km/hr.

Looks like we will be having a wet night and Monday morning.

Warnings
Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
1:28 PM ADT Sunday 23 July 2006
Rainfall warning for
Halifax Metro and Halifax County West issued

Heavy rainfall expected along the atlantic coast overnight and Monday.

This is a warning that significant rainfall is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.



A developing low pressure system forming on the eastern sea board will move northeast and intensify overnight and Monday. It is expected to bring periods of heavy rain to the atlantic coast of Nova Scotia beginning shortly after midnight over southwestern sections and reaching the remaining areas by morning. Rainfall amounts near 50 mm are expected. The rain should end in the morning in the west and by early afternoon over eastern sections. There is some uncertainty on the extent of the precipitation and warnings may need to be extended to some other areas of mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. The public are advised to monitor future forecasts in case further warnings are required.

Friday June 16,2006

A high pressure system along the US east coast put us in a south westerly giving us a sunny warm day today. Quite a change from yesterdays storm when I recorded 44 mm of rain.
Today's low temperature was 11.7*C and our afternoon high came in at 25.4*C. The barometer has been rising slowly today and tonight it sits at 101.6 kPa.
The next few days will be nice, with highs near the mid twenties. In fact it looks like we should have stable weather right in to mid week. That's all for now.

June 15 2006

Extratropical low pressure system off of the coast at this time. More info to follow.

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. ANALYSIS
FOR CONTINUITY WE ARE CONTINUING TO REFER TO THIS STORM AS POST-
TROPICAL ALBERTO HOWEVER IT HAS NO TROPICAL CHARTACTERISTICS LEFT
WHEN LOOKING AT THE SATELLITE SIGNATURE. IT IS SIMPLY A MATURE
EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE. THE FACT THAT IT IS THIS DEEP IN JUNE IS
QUITE RARE AND LIKELY OWES ITS STRENGTH... IN PART... TO THE RIPE
INGREDIENTS THAT IT INGESTED FROM ALBERTO OVERNIGHT.
THE STORM CONTINUES DEEPENING THIS AFTERNOON WITH A CENTRAL PRESSURE
IN THE LOW 970S AT FORECAST TIME. THE GEM INITIALIZED TOO HIGH...
AS DID OTHER MODELS... HOWEVER ALL MODELS RECOGNIZE THAT AN INTENSE
LOW IS IN MARITIME WATERS.

DRY AIR HAS WRAPPED AROUND THE LOW AND SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION HAS
BEEN EVIDENT FOR MANY HOURS JUST NORTH OF THE LOW. LIGHTNING
CONTINUES BEING REPORTED WEST OF THE LOW CENTRE OVER THE MARINE
DISTRICT.

B. PROGNOSTIC
THE GEM REGIONAL APPEARS REASONABLE REGARDING THE TRACK AND PRESSURE
TENDENCY FOR CENTRAL PRESSURE... APART FROM INITIALIZING TOO HIGH.
BETWEEN A GOOD SATELLITE AND MARINE DATA FIX ON THE LOW CENTRE AT
15Z AND THE GEM PROG WE ARE CONTENT TO MAINTAIN A SIMILAR TRACK TO
WHAT WE ISSUED EARLIER.

C. PUBLIC WEATHER
NOVA SCOTIA RAINFALL TOTALS UP TO 17Z INCLUDE 41 MM AT LUNENBURG AND
WESTERN HEAD.. AND 38 MM AT YARMOUTH. THE STRONGEST COASTAL WINDS
REPORTED HAVE BEEN PEAK WINDS OF 119 KM/H AT BACCARO POINT...
MARGINAL HURRICANE FORCE. WE EXPECT THAT 40-60 MM RAINFALL TOTALS
WILL HAVE OCCURRED BY THE TIME THAT THIS SYSTEM IS IN THE BOOKS.

D. MARINE WEATHER
STORM FORCE WINDS AT THE GEORGES BANK BUOY WERE REPORTED WELL BEHIND
THE STORM SO IT CONTINUES DEEPENING. WAVE HEIGHTS ALSO REACHED 7 M
AT THAT LOCATION BEFORE THEY STARTED DROPPING. A VERY TIGHT GRADIENT
BEHIND THE STORM IS BEING EXACCERBATED BY STRONG ISALLOBARICS SO
STORM FORCE WINDS SHOULD BE EXPECTED BOTH AHEAD OF AND BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 12 HOURS.

END BOWYER

Well we got off lucky with Ophelia. We received 66 mm of rain but no wind. Today was a cloudy day with a high of 20.8*C and a morning low of 15.6*C. late this afternoon a low pressure system moved by off the coast but any rain associated with it stayed off shore. The barometer was rising today and at 9 pm it was at 101.4 kPa up from an overnight low of 100.3 kPa. The temperature at 9:30 pm was 17.6*C.

there are two new TS to deal with Rita, Which looks like is headed for the GOM, and Philippe which will probably affect Bermuda and depending upon its tract could have an effect on our weather. But it is still too early to tell. Both are expected to develop into hurricanes, possibly major.

Today we have been under the influence of Ophelia, rain most of the day. I'll have totals tomorrow. No wind as of yet, it can be expeced over night. It has not been as bad as expected, earlier today when it crossed the Gulf of Maine it shredded, with the rain seperating from the LLC as can be seen with the posted satellite picture. The storm is now extra tropical and according to the CHC will make landfall east of Halifax. As I make this post it is raining quite. Today's high was 18.5*C and our low was 14.8*C. Barometer has been falling throughout the day as would be expected at 9 pm it was 101.1 kPa.

Cleared off after that with gusty north winds of up to 50 km. Today's high was 22.9*C and our low was 12.0*C. At 8:05 pm the temperaure was 17.6*C. TS Ophelia is still churning up off the SE USA. This storm will have to be watched closely for implications here in the Maritimes later in the week. Too much discrepencies in the models so far to make a call on this system.

What a beautiful day today, sunshine from start to finish. Morning low was 11.8*C and the afternoon high was 25.1*C. Humidity was high with SW winds. The three storms in the Atlantic are now hurricanes. The only one that should threaten land is Ophelia, which is doing a loop and could make landfall in Florida next week.
