The Weather Centre's Tornado Warning system

As you read this post, a line of text is sliding across the page above.
That is our new Tornado Warning system.
Whenever we identify tornado warnings and post them on our blog, we will also put that information on the text line above in a red background to be noticeable.

Please remember that that system is manually updated. We will not be able to post every tornado warning, and we do apologize.

However, we do find this the turning point in our tornado warnings issued.

June 16- Morning Tropical Discussion- East Pacific ocean (30% chance of development)


There is a 30% chance for tropical cyclone development in the East Pacific Ocean over the next 48 hours.

There is a 30% chance for tropical cyclone development in the East Pacific over the next 48 hours as a large surface trough from a low pressure system produces somewhat limited shower and t-storm activity. However, environmental conditions are conductive for gradual development of this system.

We do not have access to models at this time.
However, it does appear the system is moving to the WNW.
