RED DEER: Environment Canada Forecasting Moderate Risk for Severe Thunderstorms & Tornadoes (Sat, Jul 16, 2022)
/TODAY (Sat, July 16, 2022): Environment Canada has issued their updated forecast map for today and this includes a “moderate” risk area in yellow with a risk for 90km/h damaging wind gusts, 2-4cm hail, lightning, and the risk for a tornado.
In their scientific forecast, they wrote “Along the central foohills today severe thunderstorms are likely later this afternoon… …large hail and strong winds are the primary threat with these storms. Near the dry line an isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out as low level shear in this area is conducive for tornado development.”
