Severe thunderstorm warnings issued for southern Alberta

Thunderstorm warnings are issued when severe weather is imminent and capable of producing nickel-size hail and heavy rain that can be dangerous to people and property.

The warning issued for Kananaskis says the storm was located 25 km southeast of Kananaskis village and moving very slowly as of 9:05 p.m. MT. "Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Large hail can damage property and cause injury. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!" the warning said.

Watches mean current weather conditions are favourable for potential strong gusts of wind, hail and heavy rain but no storms are currently imminent.
