Correction, this weather event is today and not tomorrow. Late afternoon to evening (may 31) 📍 Central Alberta – Edmonton to Red Deer corridor 🕕 Timing: Late afternoon into evening ⚠️ Potential Hazards: 🌪 Isolated tornado risk 🌩 Large hail (up to golf ball size possible) 🌬 Strong wind gusts from downbursts Forecast data indicates a favorable setup for isolated supercells developing late Saturday afternoon, especially from areas near Drayton Valley through Edmonton and south toward Red Deer. Strong instability and wind shear may support rotating storms with a marginal tornado risk, particularly if surface winds shift more southeasterly. Stay alert for watches or warnings later in the day, and have a plan if storms move into your area. 🔎 We’re monitoring this closely — updates to follow. #ABstorm #YEGwx #yeg #SevereWeather #AlbertaStorms

Getting off my butt. Time to get back in shape👍 Background picture from one of the many amazing trails in Christina Lake, BC!

@PrairieChasers Started looking better after this, but didn’t get a pic unfortunately…🥲

@YounkShack Beautiful catch Erik!

Just south of Calmar, AB, looking west / south west. Looking at the elevated base. Fair bit of CG lightning with this one. #abstorm

@btk_weather @PrairieChasers Right on! Yeah she just strengthened again. I’m gonna go for it lol

@YounkShack @PrairieChasers When it's close like that you gotta do it! I will be out starting next week if all goes well (and if there are storms haha)

@btk_weather @PrairieChasers Told myself I wasn’t going to, but I may go find some hail😂

@btk_weather @PrairieChasers More so sitting on my butt watching some pretty clouds go by😂
