Saskatoon's Thunderstorm Video Today...

The mosquitoes are worse than the storms in Saskatoon while everywhere else get damaging and dangerous tornadic severe weather! Moose Jaw got golf ball size hail today as we get ripped off once again. Still not even one thunderstorm for the city unless you count our heavy rain/flood. I have only seen a few non-severe lightning flashes all year. Here is the video I took anyhoo, you can clearly see on the radar shot that the storm splits around the city again...

Tornado Watch

I am currently monitoring a situation in south-west Saskatchewan that most likely will bring Saskatoon some real thunderstorm action later tonight. A tornado watch has been issued with a severe thunderstorm warning for Maple Creek and Cypress Hills. Storms are moving very fast at 50km/hr in a north-east direction. Golf ball size hail and 100km/hr wind gusts have been reported with these storms. Large thunderstorms are now hitting heights of 45 000 feet along the Alberta/Saskatchewan from Llyodminister to the US border. The most dangerous storms will be coming from the Swift Current region towards Saskatoon. Environment Canada has a forecast for these storms to arrive by midnight in Saskatoon.
