Yellow Watch - Severe Thunderstorm

A developing low pressure system over southern Alberta is drawing in a warm, unstable airmass creating favourable conditions for the development of severe thunderstorms.

The primary hazards with these thunderstorms will be strong wind gusts and large hail. Wind gusts in excess of 90 km/h is a strong possibility with stronger cells that develop.

###

Damage to roofs, fences, branches or soft shelters is possible.

Strong wind gusts can damage trees, buildings and overturn vehicles.

Large hail can cause significant damage and injury.

Severe thunderstorm watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms capable of producing damaging hail, wind or rain.
