Got up this morning and started listening to the radio and heard that there was a possibility of more severe weather so went onto the weathernetwork.com and found this:
AT 10:40 AM RADAR SHOWS A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM 20 KM NORTH OF SMOKY LAKE 40 KM EAST OF BARRHEAD. ANOTHER LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS FROM 30 KM NORTHEAST OF WHITECOURT TO SLAVE LAKE. BOTH LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE TRACKING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARDS AT 60 KM/H. SOME CELLS IN THIS LINE CAN PRODUCE STRONG DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL, INTENSE LIGHTNING AND LOCAL HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THIS IS A WARNING THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE IMMINENT OR OCCURRING IN THESE REGIONS. REMEMBER THAT SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCE TORNADOES. LISTEN FOR UPDATED WARNINGS. NOTE..A SUMMARY OF ALL WARNINGS AND WATCHES FOR NORTHERN ALBERTA IS AVAILABLE IN THE WWCN16 CWWG BULLETIN ISSUED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS BULLETIN. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST PUBLIC FORECASTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS AN ALERT TO THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS..LISTEN FOR UPDATED STATEMENTS. IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES TAKE IMMEDIATE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
A COLD FRONT SWEEPING DOWN FROM THE NORTH IS COMBINING WITH A WARM HUMID AIR MASS TO CREATE FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE MAIN THREATS WITH THESE STORMS ARE STRONG DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
They also said that these warnings are for almost the entire province...from south of Calgary to Slave Lake. Calgary is 4 1/2 hrs south of me...Slave Lake is 4 hrs north. WOW.
I am definately going to keep my eyes open and on the windows more than I had planned on today.
