Storms Brewing Across Alberta!

Residents in central and southeastern Alberta are on high alert as severe thunderstorms could be on the horizon this Friday. Keep your eyes peeled!

Thunderstorm Watches Issued!

Environment Canada has rolled out a series of severe thunderstorm watches affecting a vast area from just south of Hinton through Edmonton all the way to the Montana border. Conditions are ripe for dramatic weather!

Potential for Funnel Clouds!

As the storms gather strength, officials warn that funnel clouds could form, particularly across regions stretching from Swan Hills down to Innisfail. In a twist of fate, these funnel clouds might even escalate into weak landspout tornadoes.

Stay Safe!

While landspout tornadoes typically don’t wreak havoc, they can still be perilous—toppling trees, damaging roofs, and scattering debris. Residents are urged to take any funnel cloud sightings seriously and find shelter immediately.

Action in the Skies!

With weather conditions already showing storm development, the Alberta Hail Suppression Project has mobilized aircraft to release silver iodide into the atmosphere, hoping to mitigate potential hail damage.

What’s Next?

Stay tuned for updates as these thunderstorms are expected to weaken by late Friday evening, but not before possibly unleashing their fury. Be prepared, Alberta!
