#2511 "Singleton Convection Inflow"

The southerly inflow to the line of convection was also the extension of the Lake Ontario lake breeze. This is a common situation for Singleton. The weak cumulus towers were tilted toward the north in the southerly lake breeze. Those winds were strong enough to stir up some white caps on the lake. 

The west to east line of showers and thunderstorms will remain just to the north. The onshore areas off Lake Ontario to the south were clear and I always referred to that as the "lake shadow" as that is how it looked on the satellite imagery. I meant the phrase to be humourous as though the lake could actually cast a shadow over the higher land.

The lifted condensation levels of the clouds were identical across the lake breeze convergence line. One air mass covered the region. The large thunderstorm anvil was overhead. The rain showers remained just to the north but did contribute much needed liquid to the watershed. That water would flow through Jim Day Rapids in about five days. 

The mid afternoon crepuscular rays also caught my eye and led me to this painting of weather.
