Severe thunderstorm watch issued for southern New Brunswick
CTV Atlantic meteorologist Kalin Mitchell tracks Thursday thunderstorms then has the details of a cooler Friday forecast. The combination of daytime heating, cooler air aloft, and cold front from the west is going to trigger some pop-up showers and thunderstorms in the Maritimes Thursday afternoon and evening. A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of southern New Brunswick. The watch cautions that conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms, which could produce damaging wind gusts, large hail, and heavy rain. thunderstorm watch A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of southern New Brunswick by Environment Canada. Remember the situation with thunderstorms can change quickly. If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued for your area it means that a particularly dangerous thunderstorm is imminent or occurring. In that case, if there is adverse weather in your area, you should be seeking shelter indoors and waiting it out. thunderstorm risk map While very spotty in coverage, a large part of the Maritimes could see a pop-up shower or thunderstorm Thursday afternoon into evening. The area at risk of thunderstorms on Thursday extends beyond southern New Brunswick. Northern parts of that province, Prince Edward Island, and even Nova Scotia could see isolated thunderstorms develop and move through. The period of risk of thunderstorms will extend into the mid-evening before the loss of daytime heating will allow for conditions in the atmosphere to become more stable, preventing more thunderstorms from developing and weakening those that may be ongoing. No thunderstorms are expected on Friday. Instead, it will be a cooler and blustery June day for the Maritimes. High temperatures in the mid-to-high teens are expected, with a northwest wind gusting 30 to 50 km/h. Friday forecast A cooler and blustery Friday ahead for the Maritimes.
