A Wild One!

As promised here are those pictures I mentioned on Newswatch yesterday from Monday's late afternoon storm. The high that day was near 30, the dewpoint was 22 degrees and with the humidex it felt 35-37 degrees. Whenever you have heat and abundent moisture (humidity) you have two of the three ingredients needed for severe weather. The last ingredient is a triggering mechanism and a weak cold front (in this case a trough) did push through the region and the result (in this case high winds and heavy rain) can be seen below.

The first two pics are from Norwood, the third is from Cavan (frightening cloud development) and the final image is from Havelock. Thanks to Katie, Jeff, Devon and an anomymous photographer for sending these images. Remember, you can always email me your pics to jscotland@chextv.com and I'll try feature them on CHEX Newswatch or here on the blog.
