Sunny today with cloud moving in late afternoon. Latest model runs show that Florence will stay off the coast. Of course still uncertainty on this, even if she does because of her size we will likely feel the effects. It is a large storm 900 nm across. Will be paying close attention through the weekend on this storm.

After a brilliant sunrise this morning we had a cloudy day with a very light shower or two. Showers overnight and tomorrow with sun on Wednesday. TS Ernesto has a mind of its own (like all tropical systems) was headed to the GOM, then west Florida, now models have east coast of Florida and up the east coast. Should have no effect on us due to a high pressure system that will block it.

Tonights low is expected to be even cooler at 7*C. Tomorrow should be similar to today with the chance of thundershowers in the afternoon.

The cold front moved through early this morning giving T&L and a period of heavy rain. We received 10 mm, but other areas in the city must have received more as radio reported street flooding and man hole covers popping off.
Today's high was 20.7*C and the low was 15.6*C, however we will be going lower as it is currently 15.7*C. The barometer is 100.6 kPa. High barometer was 100.7 kPa and low was 100.4 kPa. After the morning rain we had a mix of sun and cloud.

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.

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.
