Our drought ended on Sunday with 2 hours worth of heavy thunderstorms, and a few more on Monday. Before that, not a drop in 3 weeks. |

Forecast of thunderstorm potential for the province of Ontario
Issued by Environment Canada at 4:17 PM EDT Wednesday 25 July 2012.
The next statement will be issued at 4.00 AM Thursday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Forecast of thunderstorm potential.
Tonight..Widespread thunderstorms expected over Southern Ontario
With a squall line or several clusters of strong storms possible.
There is a moderate risk that some of these storms may be severe
With damaging winds and torrential downpours as the main threats and
large hail as a lesser threat. There is also a very slight risk of a
tornado. The greatest severe weather threat is in a corridor from
Southern Lake Huron southeastwards towards the west end of Lake
Ontario and the Niagara region. Isolated non-severe thunderstorms
Are likely in the vicinity of the Lake of The Woods eastwards to the
Atikokan region.
Thursday..Scattered thunderstorms are expected over Southern Ontario
south of a line from Kincardine to Cornwall. There is a slight risk
of severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail and
torrential downpours over an area extending from Southern Lake Huron
to Central Lake Ontario and south, mainly in the afternoon and
evening. A few thunderstorms are also expected over Northwestern
Ontario south of a line from Kenora to Thunder Bay. They may contain
small hail and gusty winds.
Friday..Isolated non-severe thunderstorms are expected over
Southwestern Ontario in the afternoon and evening. Some of these
storms may approach severe limits due to hail and wind, especially
over the extreme southwest, near Lake Erie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A thunderstorm is defined as severe if it produces one or more of the
following:
- wind gusts of 90 km/h or greater.
- hail of 2 centimetres in diameter or greater.
- rainfall amounts of 50 millimetres or greater in one hour or less.
- a tornado.
Note: this forecast is issued twice daily from May 1 to September 30.

Nah, I've been watering mine once a week. Not much actual grass, so it's not a big deal. |

said by digitalfutur:Our drought ended on Sunday with 2 hours worth of heavy thunderstorms, and a few more on Monday. Before that, not a drop in 3 weeks. Two thunderstorms does not end a drought. According to Environment Canada most of Southern Ontario is under record dry or extremely dry conditions as of July 24, including Burlington. Furthermore, in the last 30 days nearly the entire area except for the extreme southwest has had less than 40% of its normal precipitation.
This is already a major concern for growers, and is going to become an outright emergency soon enough. |

Yeah, everything through sarnia-lambton through K-W and east to west through the lakes are under a severe t-storm watch. First time in awhile I've seen EC put up a statement with the first line saying "significant threat of severe thunderstorms" |

==DISCUSSION==
A DISTURBANCE OVER WISCONSIN WITH AN AFFILIATED WARM FRONT WILL MOVE EASTWARDS TONIGHT. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS IN THE WARM SECTOR ARE SETTING UP A POTENTIALLY VOLATILE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO TONIGHT. THERE IS RAPID THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING OVER NORTH-CENTRAL MICHIGAN. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE AND CONGEAL INTO A POTENTIAL FAST-MOVING SQUALL LINE OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN AND SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO WHERE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT. STRONG DAMAGING WINDS MAY BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD WITH THESE STORMS. THEY WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY LOCALLY LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
ANOTHER BAND OF STORMS IS DRAPED FROM THE GREATER TORONTO AREA NORTHWESTWARDS TOWARDS KINCARDINE. ALL STORMS TONIGHT ARE LIKELY TO GENERATE SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN IN MANY AREAS IN A SWATH FROM LAKE HURON TO WESTERN LAKE ONTARIO AS WELL AS LAKE ERIE. IT MAY WELL BE THE MOST WIDESPREAD RAINFALL IN WEEKS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO. GENERAL AMOUNTS OF 15 TO 30 MM ARE QUITE POSSIBLE WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 50 MM POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIEST THUNDERSTORMS. A SPECTACULAR DISPLAY OF FREQUENT AND INTENSE LIGHTNING WILL ALSO LIKELY ACCOMPANY THE STORMS.
ENVIRONMENT CANADA WILL MONITOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS AND ISSUE WARNINGS IN ADVANCE OF POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER.

Yeah true enough on that one. Looks like it'll be another 4ish or 5 hours before it hits us around Woodstock. Should be a good light show, since I'm off for the next two weeks I think I'll stay up and watch. |

| Detroit TV is going nuts right now, they've even broken into shows to provide updates on the storms and are tracking the progress every few minutes. Light show is starting up to the north. Really looking forward to the lightning as EC specifically said it should be one hell of a show out there. Hoping for a fun night. Stay safe everyone. |

I'd estimate we received 50-80 mm of rain on Sunday alone, a series of heavy thunderstorms that rolled through. Very localized though, Burlington/Ancaster and North Hamilton.
So our "percent of average precipitation" is in the 60%-80% range now.

| said by digitalfutur:So our "percent of average precipitation" is in the 60%-80% range now. No, the percentage of average precipitation is exactly what's on those maps, as they're updated daily and the most recent was from the 24th. The heavy rain that Hamilton got that caused flooding on the mountain was already taken into account in the most recent data and shows up there. If you're in Burlington, you're still in a drought. That is just how *bad* this summer has been.
Either way, a single thunderstorm - no matter how much rain falls - does not correct a drought. It takes a lot more rain over a longer period of time to correct long dry spells such as what we've experienced this summer. The rain we'll receive tonight will help, but it will by no means return things to normal. |
