Yellow Watch - Severe Thunderstorm

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain. Thunderstorms forming overnight, some of which may be severe, will move to the north and northeast through the overnight and morning hours. Fast-moving and rapidly rising water can sweep vehicles away and damage infrastructure. When thunder roars, go indoors! Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Heavy rain can cause flash flooding and significant reductions to visibility. 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. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to SKstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on social media using #SKStorm.
