The storm literally just grazed Lindsay missing it by perhaps a kilometre or two. I stayed right on the edge of the storms circulation for safety and speed. I wasn't going to go core punching again with a real tornado risk!!!

As I continued chasing the storm it began to appear a little more lethargic but the real problem was that I simply ran out of road! Here's my GPS track showing me hitting a lake by the name of Pigeon Lake. You'll also notice the neighbouring lake is called Buckhorn Lake which is where the storm produced a tornadic waterspout. If only my car could float LOL.

After being forced to give up on the storm as it crossed over the lake I set my sights on another storm way back south that was running along highway 401. I finally intercepted the storm in Cobourg as it basically died. It did produce this neat wall of cloud along the Lake Ontario breeze boundry.

Same spot just looking north at the collapsing core and a secondary updraft going bye bye.

Some fresh storms popped up along the southern shore of Lake Ontario in New York State. Despite being around 60-100 km away, the cold front cleared out the atmosphere and visibility was great. I threw the polarizer on the camera to really get the clouds to pop.

What can I say, it was a beautiful looking storm.

With storm chasing you're often under the storm with little opportunity to really observe a storm from afar. It was a nice little end to an otherwise successful chase day!

As the forcing and moisture quickly diminished the storm in New York State fell apart.

Back in the big city one last band of TCU went up along a trough line thingy and provided some vibrant skies just before sunset.

This is a great example of a storm chase day in Southern Ontario where a single dominant low topped supercell can exist in a marginal energy energy environment where cape is on the order 500-750 j/kg yet through other dynamic mechanisms severe weather emerges. I've had many setups like this before either succeed or go bust on me, but this one, without a doubt, was probably one of the most interesting.
