Tonight's Risk Area: South East Saskatchewan

Conditions are ripe for severe thunderstorms including tornadoes and very large hail in south east Saskatchewan this evening; Storms are now firing up in North Dakota, spreading north towards the Estevan/Weyburn areas of Saskatchewan. Large hail 1.5 inches reported; Be prepared, this system will certainly affect the city of Regina, much like last night when Calgary got hit from the aftermath of Taber; between 7pm and 9pm storms will begin to appear in Saskatchewan

Storms will continue to remain strong throughout the night in southern Alberta and could form in south western Saskatchewan later over night or into Wednesday. The risk of tornadoes has decreased but the situation remains potentially dangerous. Watch the weather and stay safe!

Alberta/SW Saskatchewan

Large to very large hail possible in storms today. Check current forecast and heed all warnings.

Stay safe!

Montana Now

Hail in Montana is getting huge! Largest report now at 2.75 inches, blown out wind-shields and storms continue to head north towards Alberta/Sw Saskatchewan. Worst of it seems to be heading on a line towards Val Marie which could put it close to Moose Jaw much later, say between 11 and midnight. This monster storm is just now appearing on EC radar and is mighty impressive on echo tops. It should die out before making it to Regina but the forecast for tomorrow is ominous with thunderstorms and 80k/hr wind gusts at noon.
