Severe weather again in Alberta today!

Publish on Facebook

Despite relatively weak low-level wind shear, extreme instability and sufficient deep-layer shear will be in place just east of the Rocky Mountains in central/southern Alberta today for supercells. Very large hail and strong straightline winds will be the main threat, but an isolated brief tornado cannot be ruled out with any boundary interactions that occur.

Joel and I will be watching the evening model runs closely, and will likely make a decision this evening on whether we will make the trip to AB for greater tornado chances later in the week (especially Thursday). Stay tuned for updates!
