Description
We were enjoying the weather crossing Singleton Lake. We have a superb view to the west. At 5:14 pm EDT, my friends on the Severe Weather Desk of the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning saying a " line of severe thunderstorms is located from Black Rapids to Little Mud Lake, moving east at 35 km/h." That location accurately described the skyscape we were watching precisely at that moment. I thought that I had better record this event in oils as my personal observation of severe convection.
This is the second weather observation of the event to augment #2699 "Black Rapids to Little Mud Lake". The thunderstorms were almost over and the sunset was lighting the sky.
We did not observe any flooding or damage but then again, I did not go looking. We received 23 mm of rain with this unusual system although that is not a warning criterion of 50 mm in an hour. Torrential rain fell for maybe 30 minutes. If the rain had continued for the full 60 minutes at our location, we would have certainly received the predicted severe accumulation of 50 mm of rain - about two inches.
This welcomed rainfall would increase the current through Jim Day Rapids and create an endless swimming pool. It takes about six days for the rainfall in this drainage basin to percolate through the Gananoque Waterway System to reach Marble Rock dam and then into the St Lawrence. I very much enjoy but cannot control the speed of the current in my endless swimming pool.
