10:18 a.m. MDT Tuesday 16 June 2026

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, which may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.

There is also a slight chance of a tornado.

Be prepared for severe weather. If threatening weather approaches, take cover in a basement or interior room. If outside, protect yourself from flying debris and hail. When thunder roars, go indoors! Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year.

Strong wind gusts can damage trees, buildings and overturn vehicles. Large hail can cause significant damage and injury. Severe thunderstorm watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms capable of producing damaging hail, wind or rain.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ABstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #ABStorm.
