Environment Canada says conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.

Large thunderstorms have developed over southern Alberta. These storms will continue into the evening.

Heavy downpours can also cause flash floods and water pooling on roads.

Fast-moving water across a road can sweep a vehicle away.  

Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles.  

Large hail can damage property and cause injury.

Areas affected are:

  • M.D. of Foothills near Priddis and Brown-Lowery Prov. Park
  • M.D. of Foothills near Turner Valley and Black Diamond
  • M.D. of Foothills near Longview and Eden Valley Res.
  • M.D. of Foothills near Okotoks and De Winton
  • M.D. of Foothills near High River and Aldersyde
  • M.D. of Foothills near Cayley
  • M.D. of Willow Creek near Nanton and Parkland
  • M.D. of Willow Creek near Claresholm and Stavely
  • Vulcan Co. near Vulcan
