Episode Details

Alberta braces for serious weather Wednesday as severe thunderstorms roll in with potential for giant hail, torrential rain, and wind gusts nearing 100 km/h. Edmonton and the Capital region are under a watch, while eastern Alberta faces a higher alert with a small tornado risk. Fuelled by a frontal system, storms are expected to hit early to mid-afternoon, with hail potentially reaching 3-6 cm — way bigger than pea-sized. Compounding the danger, saturated soil from last month’s record June rains could turn storms into flooding threats. Officials have issued severe thunderstorm warnings. Temperatures will hover around 24°C with winds picking up later, and partly cloudy skies with showers and storm risk linger into the night. Stay alert and prepare — this one’s not to be ignored.
