Severe thunderstorm watch for
City of Calgary issued

Severe thunderstorms with large hail and heavy rain are possible this afternoon in areas north of High River.

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.
At 2:30 PM MDT a severe thunderstorm was observed on radar 30 km northeast of Nordegg. The thunderstorm is moving very little so heavy rain over 50 to 80 mm is expected under the thunderstorm. Large hail is also possible.

Thunderstorms are developing over the foothills this afternoon. The potential exists for some thunderstorms to produce large hail, heavy rain and strong wind gusts.

I was just out getting groceries with a freshly waxed car and saw 'black-as-Toby's-ass' clouds to the west so I pinned 'er for home. 50-80mils? Hoping this is another one of those false alerts...
